EU you asked me about zoning if I could tell areas of Quartz, Felspar. If I can find zones of more Quartz etc, were would you suggest working more?

Google. But also try between quartz and feldspar for beryl. (contact zone)

Im gonna do some hiking around out there next time see if I can find any opal.

 

[wilfndgold1]

Does anyone know how to clean this orange stuff off of this piece?

Try "Super Iron Out", if its limonite, that should do wonders!

 

[Hitndahed]

I LOVE this stuff,,,
Pegs,,, Vugs,, Wish we had some of this in Pa,,,
All we have around where I live is either Sandstone or Diabase (granite),, Some limestone.

I'm assuming that it will dissolve the limonite? Just curious, I have some limonite after pyrite cubes, what would it do to them? Maybe something bad? Or maybe shine them up?

Correct. It would do no good to the limonite psedumorphs.
