[QUOTE="Diggerdude, post: 16477, member: 308"] Allibrite is only 1% Hydrofluric acid , it is good for cleaning of small amounts of ironstone and calcrete only. Doesn't really work on quartz, even on little specimens it can take months to eat the quartz and must be changed every couple of days. I don't believe the myth that specimens are worth heaps more. They are hard to sell because it's difficult to get a accurate weight, even with professional specific gravity tests. I struggle to even get gold value for mine and I sell heaps. I usually just send them whole to the refiners. The only gold I have found to be worth more the usual is crystalline. DD [/QUOTE]
