@@blisteringbarnaclesmagnets6364 Glad you liked it. I've got one more Pryite video coming after I clean them with either vinegar and water, iron out, or muriatic acid. I'll check out your channel as well. Thanks for watching 👍

Very clever! I have several rocks with pyrite in them. Never thought of trying to expose it better. Well done

[@just-one-more-rock]

@@Grandmasrockin Cool. I'm planning on doing my cleaning test to see what works best for removing the host rock without removing the patina on the surface of the Pyrite. After watching that, maybe it will help you decide how you want to clean up yours. I will say that I've read that Pyrite from different locations react differently to cleaning treatments so I can really only know what it will do to my local Pyrite.

@@just-one-more-rock I will have to do some research. But I can’t wait to see your video. I learn a lot from you. Thank you

[@just-one-more-rock]

@@Grandmasrockin I think I'll prioritize that video to my top 3 and get that done. I keep passing the Pryite in my back and forth around here and it has been beckoning me to clean it.

@@just-one-more-rock That would be awesome when you get some time
