Before And After Acid Clean

[phoenix]

That speci I posted the other day, I finally took it out of the acid and the good thing about the acid clean is the before photos were taken with a 150 power usb microscope and that`s the only reason you could see the gold. When you were holding that speci in your hand it was so hard to see the gold, but now that it`s cleaned you can see the gold no worries at all..   The SG says this piece has 2.254 grams gold.
The after photos were taken with a unwanted camera a forum member gave me.   Thanks very much Steve it`s a terrific camera. ◕‿◕
And goldEn, this is how your speci came out as well.

Real purdy.  

What sort of acid are they bathing in?  

[phoenix]

Mate the stuff is called AliBrite.  If you`ve got gold you want to clean be prepared to leave it the acid for months

Ok, thanks. How long has this speci been in the wash?

[phoenix]

Mate about 3 or 4 months.   Plus in that time I replaced the acid once.  Dave
