Excellent video Tyler, this was a lot of fun. Something I definitely need to try soon. It really worked great! Cool to watch the time-lapse of it too. Good information, tips and safety! Loved this!

Hey thanks my man! Get you a bottle of this stuff! It was so much fun. Very hard to not just start putting whatever I could in the acid… 😅

Great video!!!

That was a totally awesome video! The results were absolutely spectacular! No wondering if it did anything or not. It absolutely did, and the look amazing! I think the one with the fortifications was my favorite but the botryoidal chalcedony ones were a very close second and the smokies were third! its so hard to pick because they all turned out fantastic! Great job tyler!

I'm excited about your geodes and the way they turned out. I have some solid heavy geodes and I'm curious as to whether or not they are worth cutting and perhaps using an acid bath. Any information appreciated.

Great content! You definitely earned my subscription. 😜

I love watching ur videos!! Do u ever dissolve in vinegar? It reveal cool stuff but i dont know which kind of rocks to use

WOW !! That acid really cleaned out the calcite. The lemon juice I tried didn’t work . Now I know what to use ! Mt favorite was at 33:55!! Thanks for sharing!! Keep rockin!!👍😎

I’d go with the stuff from Home Depot in the pool section. The green strip acid is pretty week and diluted from my experience. Closer to about 20% vs 31% with the pool muriatic acid from Home Depot or hardware store. Great vid bro. Thanks!

@@GeodeCrackerCollector Curious as to how your experience with muriatic acid has been. For me it’s been a nightmare lol. I mean it definitely cleans the rocks up but I can’t seem to keep the orange/yellow stains from appearing once they’ve dried. And that’s after the long soak in baking soda/water.

Good job!

It's like Rock Ellis 😂

Question...what is the mix ratio for the neutralizing solution? Can the acid be re-used?

First thing I noticed was the large amount of rust, or iron oxide, that were locked up in those.. also, do you give all your rocks acid, or only if it looks promising.. another cool video..

Very cool. Wish you told us how long you can use that acid and then how you dispose of it.

As mentioned in the video, I’ll be making a shorter video that explains the process more in depth! This was just taking everyone along on my first time using this type of acid 🤘🏻

what do you do with the acid when you are done with it?

Yellow one was beautiful

Thank you. :-)

The unsteadiness and small size of the table holding the acid make me nervous. I'd want to make sure that the table I was using was sturdier and much larger than the actual container of acid so that the container wasn't so close to the edge of the table and less likely to be knocked off.

Nice Job

Muratic gave me a bit of yellow sulfuric was slower. Vinegar took a while but I lost color. That's my experience

Oh ya they will bubble for days- u can leave them in for a day up to 3- I think cuz it gets more of the calsite off. But don’t do it for too long many cuz then it’s to much.

Hey, just wanna ask if carnelian is safe in lemon juice. I have a lovely wire wrapped carnelian pendant and wanna clean the oxidised copper with lemon juice and wanna make sure it won't dissolve the carnelian

Lemon juice won’t harm the carnelian! Heck even the muriatic acid I used in this video wouldn’t have any impact on the carnelian! You should be perfectly safe to soak the pendant!

Great example of when a powerful acid meets a powerful alkali.. Reverse Osmosis removes the alkalinity present in water within the rock, but not the carbon dioxide which comprises calcium carbonate, or calcite.. better known to the layman as the antacid, "Tums" .. I, as with all sciences, love geology, but chemistry. It's cool also..

good music. :)

if its the good kind, you can test it on me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Hope you had a safety meeting before playing with acid 👍

I agree! I think it’s sphalerite! I’ve got other geodes from the same location with it too so I think that’s it! Still learning all the fancy ways to test and know for certain!

Maybe hematite in there.

youll need a respirator rater for that HCl though that mask wont help but good you outside

LSD, a nice acid to cook your brain, but not your rocks. LSD: Lysergsaure - diethylamid, known colloquially as acid.

Looks like you gave your sweater some acid also.

Your gems are being melted use less acid

Good info but would rather listen to lawn mowers than the annoying music.

You should probably learn the rest of the dangers of using hydrochloric acid with rocks before you attempt to do this again. Muriatic is HCl beware of arsenic- arsenopyrite and many other reactive compounds in the rocks and chlorine gas.

@@GeodeCrackerCollector looks to me like you're the one being confrontational I was trying to give you sound advice especially to somebody that calls hydrochloric acid muriatic and says they're going to melt rocks instead of dissolve them PS If you can't take sound advice or simple criticism then you probably shouldn't put up KZread content and instead ask your mommy to change your diaper.

You could cut your vid time in half if you didn't overly describe things. Simply put, quit talking so much and stick to your script.

Turn down the dang music. Can’t hear you and it’s very annoying.
