That's exactly how I clean rocks before examining with a loop. I love how some rocks actually become so heated that they are hard to handle. Have you tried squirting a quart of low percentage hydrogen peroxide all over surfaced sulfide mineralised quarts vein with the entire vein smoking in the air as though you pored diesel on it and set it on fire with the only thing missing is actual flames. Go figure !
@@Goldbay I have never in my entire life seen H202 react that violently with quartz. It will however with organics such as calcite. Maybe you have a 1/1,000,000,000,000 occurance of an insanely rare type of quartz 🤣
Thanks for this i have wondered for a while now what concentrated hydrogen peroxide would do to an ore sample!!! Good luck explaining it to the keyboard warriors 😂😂😂😂
HOLY COW....that is just craaaazy!!! Congrats on the specimen
now thats impressive my brother ....good job
Thanks man. More videos to come
Insane! What a beauty!
Huge bugger. More videos coming
Do you think technical grade 34% H2O2 would work as well?
Thats one beautiful specimen so big
Incredible, best I have ever seen.
It's a big piece!
Amazing very good, good lucky
Thank you very much
WoW!!. Awesome!.
It's going to be another great specimen to add to your collection video updates would be deeply appreciated thanks
Sure thing!
Thanks for sharing, what a beautiful piece. Now, where did you get it and do you play poker?
Yes i do play
Nice
If you’re measuring in seven and 8000 g why not switch to a different unit of measurement like an ounce or pound
That is Amazing
Cool 😎 chemical reaction
Yea. And it's fast!
nice specimen. now give it to me.
Very cool and I dont understand any of that stuff you guys are talking about....whats the best way to dissolve a rock and release any gold in it?
Depends on what kind of host rock your gold is in
What state did this specimen come from?
California

Haven't tried that. I will!
That isn't quartz. It's calcite. And it's sulphur dioxide that you are smelling from all the sulphides. Very cool specimen though!!
You new here? 😆
It is absolutely quartz.

@@Goldbay The only thing that would explain that violent of a reaction is if you have TONS of sulphides in the quartz
Peroxide doesn’t react with Quartz, while the host rock is Quartz, the vein is comprised of marble/calcite, sulphides, and gold.
That is a very nice piece, do you ever use Muriatic acid hcl on any specimens?
No. Almost never. Sometimes I do tumble nuggets in a rock tumbler with HCL if my customers want them super bright though
Doesn't those fumes turn into acid when contacting your lungs?
No. Hydrogen peroxide doesn't turn to acid. Fumes can smell bad though from the Sulphur in the pyrites
@@Goldbay Right, but I meant the Sulfur possibly turning into sulfuric acid
@@grzlbr😂😂😂
@@datrooster4112 When Sulfur dioxide mixes with air and moisture(lungs) it turns into Sulfuric acid

...but 35% is not concentrated
