Rockshine over on the MAGMA website used a water pic to clean some of his quartz specimens.  I could not find one so I picked up a cheap Rite-Aid Sonicare toothbrush ripoff for under five dollars.  used it with some cheap toothpaste to clean some diamond hill small plates that had lots of clay in between the points and it worked like a charm.

These textile cleaning guns are probably the best thing to get for that.

Probably correct but for $6 you can't beat the results.

Be careful Dan.  I accidentally used my rock cleaning tooth brush one morning for a few seconds before I realized it was dirty.   Grin
