    Good morning, I just want to thank everyone who had some advice on
    how to get crystal surface on gold, especially the help on growing
    the size of the crystals.  I am trying everyones advice this week.
    We'll see what happens. Just a note on the onging debate on sonic
    cleaners.  I have used cleaners for years at different places were I
    have worked, and find that some of them are much more damaging than
    others.  I have arthritus, have had all of my life, not the deforming
    kind, thank goodness but general and sporadic pain most of the time. 
    Some cleaners that I have used have been down right painful to even
    stick my fingers in for just 2 or 3 seconds to pull out a chain
    hanging on a frame   Some have done nothing. So I suggest not
    sticking your fingers in, but I know that sometimes it happens.  We
    as jewelers and crafts people use materials all of the time that are
    dangerous.  We just sort of get used to them and forget their
    potential for damage.   It never hurts to be more cautious, no matter
    what we are doing. Thanks again for the help, Dennis
