Thanks. They were fun to collect and fun to show in a video.

Well you have some nice ones. I'm trying to clean out some pink and purple and black paint or dye on the back of these quartz geodes that I got from a friend today. Honestly don't like the dye. I went to go rinse them out and get the dust off and the dye started to come off right away so I had to finish it lol. Blessed for sure. My collection is getting bigger. Almost time for a rock tumbler.

I used TILEX mold and mildew remover in warm water in an ultrasonic cleaner. It worked amazingly well. I cant find the TILEX anymore but The Iron Out Looks like a great idea. Thanks

Beautiful specimens! If you want to conserve iron out, I would recommend filling the container with water just barely covering the crystals so the SIO isn't super diluted.

They cleaned up good, but I think I could have left them in the solution for another day or two.

Citric Acid works really well to. Especially on Black Maganese.

Some sick crystals Jeff, great job on the clean up as well. Iron out has been a go to for me for years. Love the stuff!

@@OffTheBeatenPath1 Are you posting a video?? Hope so!!

some of my crystals have a tough iron coating but after sitting outside in the rain and sun for a year it really cleans them up!! Its crazy to think how acidic the rain actually is!! Of course a little muriatic or iron out works a lot faster though haha. Great video and thanks for sharing some tips🙂

Thanks. I think it's finally time for me to clean the big cluster, perhaps another video.

Wow! That big one is an awesome find! All the quartz I find is just the typical rough… beautiful but never found one with points… I’m new to The crystal mineral world but cherish them all!

Thanks. For the location I found this at it was a great find, I would love to hit up some of the big quartz mines in Arkansas one day.

Love the chlorite included pieces from that mine.

They are spectacular.

Cool video

I like using SIO, but have noticed that sometimes the fluid becomes yellow which will stubbornly stain the crystals. So keep an eye on progress and if the liquid becomes discoloured then dump it and replace with fresh.

Thanks Greig. I like to sacrifice a few rough look specimens as test subjects, some times a short 10 minute swim makes a crystal look good, some take days.

👍 thanks . Trying it out in southern Arizona. Called why Az. 🧐

I hope to have an updated Quartz cleaning video soon, perhaps also including other ways of crystal cleaning.

Cool man, does it work on calcite? I have a big one like that big chunk of clusters you had also got in my locality

Test it on a small piece and see what happens. It's always good to test any cleaning method on a small piece so you don't ruin something good.

Hi Jeff, you have some great looking crystals in that group, nice easy method of cleaning them. Do you need to neutralise the solution once the cleaning is complete. Keep Safe & Keep Rockin

No acid, just chemical for taking off the Iron staining. You still don't want to breath the fumes though.

I don't recommend this method of cleaning as it exposes your skin and lungs to extreme chemical toxins. So important to read the labels and not expose ourselves if we don't have to.
