In this episode we place quartz, geodes, petrified wood, obsidian, limonite crystals, trilobites, and red horn coral in muriatic acid to see what happens! What do you think will happen?

Before pouring out the acid, neutralize it with baking soda, but pour the soda in slowly as it will start bubbling like crazy. Continue to put baking soda in it until it stops bubbling, then the acid is neutralized. that way. you know for sure you are not harming anything with the acid.

@theruggedrockhound 2 года назад

Thanks! I am already aware of this now and have since been much better with neutralizing the acid before disposing of it.

Great video and a few specimens in your video looked worked by ancient evoving species . I found so many artifacts, West of New York Cit. it's insane every kind of stone you can think of including many crystal

Yeah, I realized that after the fact.

Liked you video and your examples were great! If there were something to improve and you are able to edit that way, a side by side visual before/after would be effective. Thanks again for your continued efforts!

@theruggedrockhound Год назад

Thanks for the tips! I did start doing that with some of my more recent rockhounding videos, but there is still much to improve.

@wyomingadventures 2 года назад

I love red horn coral. I found you from Utah Rocks. Thanks for sharing! Going to try this. Love how they turned out. Where do you get horn coral from? Subscribed. Awesome you're a geologist!

@theruggedrockhound 2 года назад

Welcome aboard! Utah Rockz is a lot of fun to go out with. I got the coral a while back from some private claims. I do love geology!

Muriatic doesn’t work well on the Missouri quartz because it’s usually on a very porous matrix. The acid permanently makes most of the crystals yellow. I might try it on some of my geodes in limestone matrix... also I have a few geodes that are quartz on the outside but solid calcite inside... you know what I’m thinking 😏

@theruggedrockhound 3 года назад

Yeah, muriatic acid would be terrible for those geodes... In truth, I don't use muriatic acid much since it only works on a few specimens that I collect.

@TheRogueRockhound 3 года назад

I heard you can use bleach to get the yellow out, do you know if that has any merit?

@theruggedrockhound 3 года назад

@@TheRogueRockhound I have not tried that yet, but it sounds reasonable.

@TheRogueRockhound 3 года назад

Thanks for the upload, this was informative and fun. I haven't used much acid, besides oxalic, for cleaning rocks.

@theruggedrockhound 3 года назад

Yeah, I only use muriatic acid sometimes. Most of the time I also use oxalic acid, since more specimens are covered with iron oxides rather than carbonates.

@GeoRockNerd 3 года назад

@@theruggedrockhound Have you had any luck with IronOut? I’ve had mixed results, would love a protocol to consistently get FeO off rocks if you have any tricks!

@theruggedrockhound 3 года назад

@@GeoRockNerd IronOut works decently on some specimens, but if you really want a strong remover of iron oxides i recommend the "Waller Solution". Check it out at this link: www.johnbetts-fineminerals.com/jhbnyc/articles/minclean.htm

@@theruggedrockhound Well, I appreciate you making these videos, good to have a geologist around. Would you mind if I ask you a few questions here and there? I'm still working on my identification skills and could always use the feedback of a certified geologist. Thanks again and chat w/ ya soon!!
