I caught up on my websites last night and then decided to do some more cleaning this morning, both additional fluorite pieces and the house. During my cleaning last week, I actually discovered a few pockets of cubes in large pieces that were covered by calcite, and photographed a few of them today.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

…and here is one of the large pieces that I cooked last week and discovered this pocket hiding inside behind all the calcite…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

here is another one that this face of crystals was hidden behind a thick crust of calcite….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

…here is one of the groupings of clusters I cleaned up today….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..the one on the far side leaning on the near one, was yet another piece where the cubes were hidden behind some thick calcite crust…another one I was glad that it cleaned up so nicely to reveal some really nice big cubes…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and another view of it here…<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and a second grouping here too….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

and a third grouping….<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..the one on the left is a nice plate with large cubes on the front and back side both…it had alot of rust colored stains on it that I removed first with Super Iron Out and then today I placed it in the Muriatic Acid to remove the calcite and clean it back up…it actually looks much better now…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..this side has alot more cubes than the other side, so I didnt even photograph the other side…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

I have two larges ones with something on them that resembles sand,but it wont come off with either solution so I`m guessing I get to keep it no matter what…one is this one, which as cubes on both sides of the piece…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and here is the top of the piece with the large cubes and the yellow sand looking stuff and some white spots all over it…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

There were two nice clusters that I found at the Eureka Mine this year, both cleaned up very nicely with the help of the Muriatic Acid, the first one has a ridge of nice cubes on either side of it…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..here is the back side of it…deep purple with a hint of yellow imbedded in them…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and here is the other side….also deep purple in the center especially and some translucent cubes on the side as you can see…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and here lightened up a bit for the front side…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

..and here are the cubes closer up….<\/strong><\/p>\n

and the other one I soaked for a day in Jet Blue Liquid Detergent to give it some extra shine…since I couldnt find any sausheen detergent…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"2<\/a><\/p>\n

here is also one of the smaller ones I found at the Eureka, which turned out to be very pretty and translucent as well…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n
