A very good job, some lovely bits of matrix there. I am about to try treating some I found while outback Australia at Andamooka. Hopefully it will work well. Is there any other acid you can use or substitute for the sulfuric acid? Regards Andy Poverty prospecting Australia 🇦🇺
@bialy100k Yes it's permanent but how deep the treatment penetrates into the stone varies per piece. Only way to take the carbon our is to soak in a heated bleach solution but it won't fully undarken it and it also damages the stone
Great video. Nice meeting you today. Thanks for all the info. Ed
I'm glad to see you guys doing well. Can't wait to buy another piece of matrix from you guys. Love your content. Keep them coming!
Very cool
Awesome buddy, thank you for making the video

Is this permanent? Wont loose colours and "style" on time?
