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.
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!
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 🤘🏻
One looks like SouthAmerica. (Sideways). My dad almost named me Chalcydony, but one of his great aunts showed up at the hospital when I was born. So I was named after her and two of her sisters.
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.
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!
Amazing transformations!🤩 I like big bots and I cannot lie... I actually like little bots too. I think my favorites were the two smaller pieces with the dark gray bots, although they are all gorgeous. Great video Tyler, thank you for sharing!✌️🤠
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!
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..
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..
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.
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.
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!
I doubt wearing a dust mask is going to protect you against acid fumes... Please make sure you're using an appropriate mask that protects against acid fumes... 😷
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.
That’s why I specifically went after pieces with calcite, and this happened outside, with protective equipment in place on a windy day, but thanks! 🤘🏻 you should probably not make assumptions about one’s knowledge on things like this, and not be confrontational in the comment section. 😅
@@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 TH-cam content and instead ask your mommy to change your diaper.
Nice job what a transformation on all your pieces. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for your comment! This was a lot of fun! And only slightly terrifying 😅

Oh yea this acid blows lemon juice out of the water!

Good to know! It was my first experiment with a harsher chemical

Love your videos!! How do you dispose of the acid?
Awesome video! I have sooo many rocks that need to take a trip to the acid bath, I wonder what’s hidden inside so many I have!
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… 😅

Thank you Lisa! Definitely content with these results!
Have you ever looked at any of those under a uv light? The calcite glows a beautiful red color.
Very cool. Wish you told us how long you can use that acid and then how you dispose of it.

I use the tongs with the rubber tips. Grips better, especially since I deal with a lot more smaller pieces than the chunky geodes.
Oh good to know!

Thanks my friend! Definitely do it!
They came out so shiny. Like they had been polished, awesome.
I was so impressed!
Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

Hahahahaha thank you Kyla! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Great informative video. Thanks Tyler
My pleasure Jamie!
First of your videos I've seen... super cool!!!! Thank you for the experience🎉
Great content! You definitely earned my subscription. 😜
Welcome 🔥🤘🏻
It was great, thanks for showing this!
Thank you so much!
Question...what is the mix ratio for the neutralizing solution? Can the acid be re-used?
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

@@GeodeCrackerCollector thank u!

What a trip! now i wonder how some of those would turn out after a bath in iron out.
Hmmmmm. We may have to investigate!

Beautiful, now I'm excited to do some of mine and hope they turn out half as nice!
I hope so too! Be sure to share!
There's definitely a reason they call it acid magic! Love that smokey!!!
Right! So sick!
what do you do with the acid when you are done with it?
Muratic gave me a bit of yellow sulfuric was slower. Vinegar took a while but I lost color. That's my experience
How much baking soda in the water bath to neutralize the acid?
Great video!!!
I'm learning how to do this through TH-cam. Thanks.
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
Nice pieces.

Hey man, that was like a really good acid trip man.
Hahaha I’m glad 😎🤘🏻
Good job!

It's like Rock Ellis 😂
Yellow one was beautiful
good music. :)
Lmao gonna be honest I clicked on the video just because of that title
youll need a respirator rater for that HCl though that mask wont help but good you outside
Nice Job
Thanks my friend!
Looks like caviar! Cool
Right!? Makes me wanna try caviar even more now 😅
Thank you. :-)
I love ACID!!! 🤣 🤷🏻♂️ Always a good time 👍🏼
Hahaha love it too! Thanks for watching 😎🤘🏻
if its the good kind, you can test it on me🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Beautiful
Hey thanks Nathan! I recognize that name from TikTok, nice to have you here 🔥🤘🏻
Did you find out what the black shiny mineral was? Looks like sphalerite
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.
👏🏻👏🏻
😎🤘🏻🔥

Looks like hospital chicken noodle soup. I will take a bowl , add some pepper to mine please.
Hope you had a safety meeting before playing with acid 👍
Had 2 🤘🏻
Oh, dude! Leave the little dolomite rabbit, he worked hard to get there.
😍😍😍
🤯🥳🤘🏻🔥😎
Hello 💗
Hello! Thanks for hanging out in the premiere last night! Hope you enjoyed the video and enjoy the community here!
a real P

LSD
🤣
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.
Safety equip is Not funny you do right Thing.
Kids are watching and Stupid people.
Good Job 😊
Good info but would rather listen to lawn mowers than the annoying music.
Your gems are being melted use less acid
Chalcedony does not react with muriatic acid, no matter the concentration
Turn down the dang music. Can’t hear you and it’s very annoying.
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.
