In this one, we cut and clean all of our specimens from our recent trip to Haunted Ridge in Missouri! I selected a heap of rocks to cut and an even bigger heap of rocks to put through the iron out. Our results were fantastic! The red stained druzy clusters transformed into pristine glitter bombs, well defined crystals with great luster were revealed beneath the iron staining, but I have to admit that even with so many unique crystal specimens, it was the incredible fortification agate that stole my attention! These things are just SO much fun to cut open, and I was shocked to see how much variation in color was hiding inside! After cleaning and cutting so many different Haunted Ridge specimens, I simply can not wait to go back! I hope you all enjoyed, and I will have another one out soon!

The agates are AMAZING and the druzy bots are killing me! GAH! Thanks for the video, Theo. I couldn’t even get to the end of the video before commenting. ❤ -Muh

When you get yellow after Iron-Out, soak it in bleach. If it turns orange, you can hit it with Iron-Out again and it will clean up some more. Yellow happens when your Iron-Out is getting loaded with iron and starts to form iron oxalate. Bleach breaks down the oxalate and turns the iron back into iron oxide which Iron-Out can then remove.

@beverlymasonlpcpc4264 4 месяца назад

Thank you. I was wondering why my stones turn yellow.

@keithwood6459 4 месяца назад

@@beverlymasonlpcpc4264 Let me know if it works for you!

@turnerg 2 месяца назад

Do you dilute the iron-out at all or use full concentrate? I have some druz specimens that i used vinegar on but dont want to have to use muriatic acid.

@keithwood6459 2 месяца назад

@@turnerg I never used Iron-Out itself, preferring pure oxalic acid, which is the main ingredient. But I used that stuff pretty strong, so I think you'd be safe using it strong. It seemed to help to have a high concentration, and I read something once that it should be strong to help some aspect of its chemistry to work. What helps the most is it being warm. I used to set a piece of glass over a large glass mixing bowl and leave it in the sun. Check it periodically and add water to keep the level above the rocks.

Stunning! The results you got are well worth your work. I appreciate your need for speed in compiling this video, but just for myself, I wished I could have slowed your 78RPM to 33 1/3 RPM (you're probably not old enough to understand that reference). Many of us seniors like to take more time to savor the moment. Thanks for sharing these videos.🏎🏃‍♀💿⏩

And this video is why i always tell people- Dont buy foreign stuff unless you've checked "local" (from ya own backyard/country) first. Who needs crazy lace from mexico or central/south america when you have glorious specimens like this :D

@spetkovsek57 4 месяца назад

I have not been there, but I have traded for some of the HR material. I have a couple of videos on it as well. Like you, I'm a Banded Agate junkie. I've done a few cabs with it already and have a bunch more in the works. It does take a pretty good polish even though the banding displays a little bit of undercutting. Which means it will work just find for jewelry, but not for competition. I look forward to seeing how well you are able to polish those pieces.

some looked like a piece of bacon!!!! (lairs of fat and meat). 😄😄Love those glittery drusy ones....and crystals and the patterns in those bacon-pieces. 😂

@jimellis936 4 месяца назад

Awesome finds. When you face polish some of them I'd love to see your techniques. I use a flat lap but sometime have difficulty getting scratches out of the center. I'm hoping you can tell me how you mix your iron out ratio or measurements and how long you soak your crystals. Thanks, love tapping into your expertise.

Those pieces are so freaking beautiful! OMG! How can you not love the agate best from Haunted Ridge? It is so beautiful; and that big specimen piece you found is probably the nicest agate I've seen from there, bar none! It's gorgeous! And I am the same way! I absolutely love the agate best! How can you not? I love crazy lace agate so much and when I found out Haunted Ridge had agate that was similar to crazy lace, it was all over for me. Don't get me wrong, the crystal specimens are phenomenal but the agate is some of the best I've seen around! So pretty! Thank you Theo, for making a video of the gorgeous agate you found! And an annual trip to Haunted Ridge is definitely called for! Lol!
