Merging Minerals (
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 бер 2024
- For this year's Makers Challenge I am stepping out of my comfort zone and trying something completely new in a way. Some of you know I like wire wrapping pendants. Today we take two minerals to combine together and make one or several beautiful pendants. I will say this was a trial-and-error situation in the beginning. As the video continues you will see multiple attempts of seeing what hoped to make and hear the process. I hope you enjoy.
Later this week I will have these posted on my Facebook page available for sell.
Make sure to check out all the other channels for Makers Challenge 5.

Great job Kurt. Ive always wondered how this was done. Very creative and they turned out great!
Dude, that was well worth the wait, what a totally killer project. I love how those turned out, your favorite being so cool. It's great how they will each be unique unto themselves, I'm sure that made it constantly interesting to do the whole time. Thanks for sharing this awesome maker's challenge, cheers!
Old disabled house bound dusty rusty rockhound here: Yeah🎉!
Maker's Challenge!!!! It's my favorite time of year! It's like the Super Bowl for us UA-cam rockhounds! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🫶
That was a very interesting project!
Thank you for being part of the Maker’s Challenge. To tackle something out of your comfort zone, good on you. I have always been fascinated by Bismuth; its peacock colours, the crystal formations but the fact that it can go from a whiteish solid, to a heated liquid and then , to a solid with beautiful crystals seems magical to me. Well done on preserving to find the best way to create a pendant. I agree that silver wire would look amazing and I look forward to seeing more videos of you perfecting this form of lapidary pendant making. Well done Kurt.
Brilliant idea Kurt! That was truly interesting to watch and thay big one made me LOL !! They turned out sooo pretty. Fantastic video /idea/results. Thanks for sharing and participating in the makers challenge. 👏 👏 👏
That was a great project for the maker's challenge. It was fun to watch you go through the process to create these beautiful crystal pendants.
I did. It was a bit easier using a bigger container to just toss in how much you need and melt it all together. I still have a bunch of it that I didn’t use. You can also pour it melted in a deeper tablespoon type container and the crystals grew in a half globe like building blocks. Looked like a cross section of the Death Star 😂. It’s fun to play in.
Very cool, Kurt! The last two were my favorites. Fascinating stuff 😁👍
That is so fascinating! I want to play around with some myself but haven’t had a chance to. Thanks for sharing and being a part of the most exciting rockhound event on the internet ❤❤❤
Thank you for taking us along with you as you explore something new.
Thank you for watching
💙 the blue ■.

Super cool idea!
I thought so too. 😁
Cool fun. Nice pendants.
This was amazing. A great challenge, I don't know how you thought of it. Well done!
Neither do I lol. But I have been wanting to try and make just bismuth crystals and looked around online a lot to find people only wire wrapping the crystals and thought 🤔💭 I wonder if it’s possible to make them together?
So know I know 😁.
I have a lot of different designs I’m going to be trying over the next few weeks.
@@RockHoundingAdventures I can't wait

@@RockHoundingAdventures

Really nice. Thank you
Such a great idea! Thank you for sharing!
Thanks
WARNING…Use gloves and apron when working hot BI. Account for spilling, splashing that can cause bad burns.
Also when merging different elements/alloys know what you might get after they merge.
100% Agree 😁. I had both then dog pissed on my gloves 🤦♂️ just before setting up and had apron on.
It’s been working nicely for me. Thanks for watching
@@RockHoundingAdventures 😂😂
You made some interesting pieces!
Those are near little pendants!
I still have yet to play with bismuth!
I’ll share some photo in the chat when I get them all finished up
Interesting prossess.
It sure was lol
Awesome! I’ve been wanting to try this! Can you share where you got the metal and any other gear you used? Thanks!
I have a few ideazzz for this one, get ahold of me!!!
Oh cool, send me a email: rock_hounding_adventures@yahoo.com
What would happen if you melted it in a container with a flat side and then placed your pendant to the side. Would the crystals only form on one side?
In believe they would only form on one side. For both sides you’d have to dip the flat side in the bismuth to form on the other side .
Nice Man I like this idea! 🪨🤘
Thanks man
