There isn't anything flash in amongst them that I can see but I'd like to get them cleaned to check. The problem I have is that a lot of them seem to be coated with what I'm assuming is Molybdenite or something along those lines. It seems odd to me but may be normal. The "metal" is very malleable & spreads more than comes off. Any suggestions would be helpful. Cheers, Les. - -- - ------------------------------------------- Ewok's Homepage http://www.netlink.com.au/~lerock http://members.dingoblue.net.au/~lesrock/ Prim email: mailto:lesrock@dingoblue.net.au Sec email: mailto:lerock@netlink.com.au - ------------------------------------------- ------------------------------ End of rockhounds-digest V1 #768 ******************************** ################################################################# # To subscribe or unsubscribe to the Rockhoundz List, send mail # # to with the following keys: # # subscribe rockhounds (or) unsubscribe rockhounds # # rockhounds@drizzle.com | http://callisto.golder.com/rockhoundz# #################################################################
