Really impressive specimen piece. According to the video it was found within a 100 miles of the Boot of Cortez nugget. Wouldn't that put it practically on the US-Mexico border? Not necessarily the safest area to prospect these days. 

Didn't realize how involved the etching process is. I thought you pretty much just removed the quartz by soaking the specimen in something like hydrofloric acid? I guess having someone who knows what they're doing speeds up the process.  Thanks for posting it!

That's an Eye Opening video.  We often times don't know what we don't know.

Thanks for posting.
