- How to dissolve the quartz off a gold nugget and keep the gold intact and in its raw form hidden in the quartz. This processes also works for dissolving any silica base material like ceramic, glass, and some aluminum's without using hydrofluoric acid.
This processes is for experienced users only.
Stay safe and use all protections when doing this.
The gold in quartz has a greater value as a gem than as the gold nugget inside. Counterproductive.
All depends on the piece lol
Subbed 😁🤙, what an awesome specimen man and great job with the dissolving of the quartz
Turned out better than I thought is was gonna. Beautiful specimen!. . . We need to move up stream this spring :)
Ya you wouldn't believe the look on my partners face when I found it.😂
Enjoyed watching! That is one beautiful nugget!! ❤️
Thank you
Wow, cool process and it sure transformed that nugget. I would definitely freak out to find one a 1/4 that size. Thanks for sharing, good luck, happy hunting and take care. Wishing you an amazing new year.
Thank you. hope you have a great new year and always love your input and I did Freak out when I found it.
youtube is getting annoying with all the commercials
Great Video. You have a gift for teaching!
Thanks for sharing this video and giving us a lot of good information. Great looking piece of gold Good job.😎👌👌👍👍⛏⛏
I actually learned this from trying to refine catalytic converters. Thanks
Nice job.
Great idea to use a multimeter. Very clever.
Thank you so much !!! That's a wealth of info I so needed!
Glad it was helpful!
Good job!
HI FROM BRANSON, MO!! SUBSCRIBING...AND LOVING!! WHEN I COME ACROSS OLD TIMERS LIKE YOU...THAT ARENT "SELLING ANYTHING"...I LEARNED BASICS..IN THE DESERT...TRYING TO GET AHEAD OF RUSSIANS..BEFORE THE "BIG" GOLD RUSH...PEACE AND PROSPER FROM JANET SNOW..PUBLIC ON FB💋
Kind of neat with the multi,enter!
Wow, looks great.
Thanks Rayvan I love the way it turned out
Hydro flouric acid works great for that
Sir Your Great
If you use sulfuric acid at the end, you will have silica sand
Interesting fact. At this point the lye and silica should be mostly rinsed away. Thank you for your input
Wouldn't a bright light show you the shape? Nice find though 😋
Not always
You can order 30% hydroperoxide and that'll do the job excellent
Hydrogen peroxide doesn’t have the same out come on a silica base rock
@@WorldScienceTV I just knew that it would dissolve the courts as much as you want 30% is pretty strong

Love it.
do you need to use a stainless steel pot/pan when heating the lye?
Yes
i need an experiment done. Will you get à hold of me
what is your experiment
Is it hydrofluoric acid or hydrochloric acid ?
this is lye (sodium hydroxide) not acid the same thing you use to make soap. hydrofluoric acid will dissolve silica and those are your only two options
@@WorldScienceTV Thanks for the reply . I understand that you used lye to dissolve the quarts, but near the end of the video you used 1 oz hydrochloric acid to clean/neutralize the nugget. I just wanted to verify . Also I noticed they solution was hot when you added the 1oz of hydrochloric acid , is this right.
Thank you !
You first off never pore acid into a base. At this point in the video there was almost no lye left in the liquid. Only the nugget in clean water heated in a well ventilated area with your lungs at a safe distance hot acid is bad very very bad. And yes about 1 ounce
This should be done with a good mask on if your going to stand over it like that
It would be advised for anyone that doesn’t have proper ventilation
what name the white poder ?
Lye or sodium hydroxide I found pure lye in red devil drain cleaner
Why u put it in a meter pot for? Lol u were turning ur solution into more salt than acid n ur inside without the water cleaning vapors , PEASE DONT TRY THIS AT HOME ESPECIALLY THIS WAY
