GrapeCollects Pillar of the Community United States 8938 Posts	Posted 06/02/2019 2:49 pm I found this in a wheat bag a bit back. It's covered in this nasty brownish greenish nastiness that's staining it. I wouldn't normally mind but it has such beautiful toning in hand it really hurts the eye appeal. I've tried acetone soaks so far and distilled water to little avail. Any thoughts on helping it or what it is? Some glamour shots for you liking. Report this Post to the Staff
