[Rockhounds] oxalic acid

[Jeanne Rhodes-Moen]

thanks....when I lived in Norway...you had to go through the pharmacy or 
specialized stores for chemicals....couldn't even get rubbing alcohol 
without a perscription! so I wasn't sure  how readily available it was 
here. I got a little piece of chrysocolla with druzy on it, and it's got 
a coating on it.....so i was going to try to clean it....that, and I've 
got some crystals from Norway I'd like to clean up.

thanks,
Jeanne
