Me showing how I etch calcite off rock to expose hidden crystals. Make sure precautions are taken.

    I really like the plate of crystals that were exposed. Always good to get a titanite. But the other specimens at the end of the video....all I can saw is WOW! Big like from me.

    You should have added the baking soda to the water acid solution when the rock was still in it. It would have neutralized the acid in the water and gotten all over the rock and it's nukes and crannies . Then the whole rock would be neutralized not just the top. Then when it stops bubbling you would pour iff the water , remove the rock and rinse it all well.

    I really enjoyed your video. I suppose some of the other comments could be constructive criticism but I just think... Why? Either you find value and you like it or you move on. But that's me. Sending much love and gratitude from this brand new rock hound.

    That was sure easy to clean ! Good video I liked the Smokey Quartz it would be nice if I could dig one up. It's nearly impossible to hear your voice your too far from the mic ! So how much did the big chunk weigh it looked like a back breaker. ?

    Rick Cruz sorry about the sound. Backyard work. The voice not to heavy. Maybe 20-30 lb. I brought back heavier pieces lol

    I guess this try wasn’t the best result. You never know though. Sometimes you get nice stuff exposed underneath that is worth to a collector.

    Good attempt bro. I gave thumbs down for way too much camera movement and not enough editing. Good content though. This was my first of your videos so I'll give you another go. Thanks for at least trying. 🤓
