Hydrofluoric Acid will remove the drusi and not harm the Fluorite, but it is an extremely dangerous acid and hard to get hold of.

Hi all!


Why clean off such a beautiful thing?Anyway,be sure to use good ventilation,gloves and masks for eyes,mouth and nose to protect yourself for the acid steam!After you finish the job(all away from pets and children),use a lot of baking soda(sodium bicarbonate) to neutralize the acid!!!Use a LOT of soda!




Cheerz n Happy New Year!
