[Rockhounds] Cleaning quartz and geodes

[Joshua Stiff]

Thanks for the advice!  I am happy to hear that it sounds like the
staining can be removed with time and water.  I'll try re-soaking the
specimens in a baking soda rinse for a day.  And then let them
hang-out in a bucket for a week or so, changing the water frequently.
I also have a large patio area, so I may attempt washing the
specimens, letting them dry in the sun, and then repeating the
process.

I'll have to try that Super Iron Out as well.  I've heard lots of
people talking about it.
