I was quite surprised. I'm definitely going to be extracting things differently after this.

Thanks sir, for the film of education. Please can I use the solution to clean up my rough diamond?

Definitely some good info.

Thank you SO MUCH for this video!! This really helps!

@@HighCountryRocksthanks buddy just to clarify when you said to add the distilled water to stop orange staining on the piece of quartz after the acid has done its thing do you remove the piece from the solution and place in clean water before adding baking soda to stabilise for pouring down the drain or do you leave the piece in the whole time? thank you

Thank you very interesting.

It made me extract the vein completely different.

Maybe someone can help. I live in Jonesboro GA. We were planting some trees at our house and noticed little gold flakes in the soil just about everywhere. We also were digging up huge chunks of quartz. I do know there was a gold rush in north Atlanta in the early 1800s. We are further south. I gathered, after some research, that the gold flakes are likely Micah deposits(which actually may be come valuable in the near future due to their use in computer parts?). Anyway, i started saving all the rocks that Ive been digging up. I broke open an 8inch by 4inch piece of quartz allong a natural fracture it had, revealing some dark contracting color inside, giving it a camo type pattern. There is a lot of the same black stuff in the other stones as well. I do know that nearby Stone Mountain, was made from an ancient valcano eruption millions of years ago. My questions are Is this black stuff valcanic ash? Or possibly part of the "black mat layer" from the Younger Dryas boundry? Is it worth my time cleaning these or just selling them to someone that will care for them? Is there a chance some of the gold flakes could be actual gold since gold has been found in this general area? Thanks!

Interesting. Have a great week. 🤗🙏🏼

Just make sure to use that distilled water and then soak it in baking soda and distilled water as long as you were soaking it in acid. That will ensure you don't get the yellowing effect Good luck feel free to send me pictures on Instagram it's the same name highcountryocks Thank you for your comment.

I don't know about the prase quartz. I would recommend the citrine with the muriatic acid.

Wow.I wish i can dissolve quartz like that

Thanks for the informative video, Could this work to clean corundum? I was searching for a video about dissolving copper in acid to add it to steel, your video was in the results.

It will help start cleaning the process. I just made a video about using acids and other cleaning mixes on corundum. It can really mess up your corundum if you mix it to strong it to long. Make sure not to put your best ones in while learning the ratio.

Terima kasih.. video yg bagus dari anda. 👍

So it has to be distilled water, not tap? Cuz I really want to use tap. (It’s all I have) Lol. Also- I just found a bunch of opal!! A lot of it covered in hard bentonite clay (I think)it’s not coming off soaking in water. Can I use muriatic acid,oxalic acid, or, iron out, on it with out damaging the opal? If not do u know how to clean it? And one more thing- I’m in Az summer just hit- so our hounding season is ending and it’s now our cleaning time. lol funny huh!!- those ice cycles are looking mighty fine to me right about now!!!

If you watch the video how to clean corundum I have this upholstery water gun that I use to clean the corundum. I think that might be your most beneficial tool and that's on Amazon for purchasing it.

Hi I love your videos I would your input in some stones I found please reach me through here🙏☺️GOD BLESS YOU!

What about when they have a lot of manganese? How do you keep the manganese from acting as chlorine and dissolving any gold and such

Do not do this on lapis. It will turn a A+++ stone white.

it is natural for mineral calcite to dissolve with acid !!
