  • Hydrochloric acid testing is one of the easiest methods for determining carbonate minerals and rocks like malachite, azurite, dolomite, calcite, quartz carbonate, rhodochrostite and more. Every prospector should have this in there mineral exploration kit. We test various rocks and high grade gold ore, copper sulfides and minerals as well to see if there is a reaction.

    What a cool coincidence of a video topic for me! Earlier today I had thought about how i really want a huge pile of the marble tailings from Myanmar and a giant polymer hugh pressure sprayer with dilute Hcl in a 10,000 gallon (25,000 liters-ish?) or so reservoir to get at that lovely red pidgins blood or rabbits blood corundum Hidden within. Only in dreamland could I do that though. But then I saw your post with the video thumbnail and all that. Hope you are feeling better already man. I have alot of health problems lately and know what its like feeling like crap. Personally, all sorts of test videos and processing videos would be awesome. I love learning and feel inspired more often than not when watching. It helps keep me going thinking I can do something similar if I can get back into a healthy enough condition that I can travel and hike and prospect and rockhound and crystal hunt. Just picked up a laminated fold out referance table that has alot of basic information for identifying minerals...clips into a 3 ring binder.that will be handy for sure!

    Great acid tests Justin.I was taught that if you mixed and stirred a little salt with the white vinegar for a few seconds or so to blend ,it could be a little stronger than straight vinegar.I have put in on rocks with just a little showing of malachite and azurite and anywhere with an hour or 4..... There could be a lot more of colors coming up from the near surface to my surprise with some of the samples.HCI is fastest though.

    If you place calcite/carbonate containing rocks into a container of vinegar and leave them for several weeks it will dissolve the carbonate minerals. The result can (sometimes) be quite cool since it will expose other crystalline minerals deep in the rock that were encased by the carbonate minerals.

    I've watched other videos you posted and did comment! These are some of the most amazing videos I have ever seen regarding mineralogy! Its nearly a college course! Only thing I ask why carbonate rock, higher temps, slower cooling, geographic location? I guess its complicating it a bit but i am curious as to why. Great videos always! Thank you!

    Now that you have hydrochloric acid on those rocks and vinegar on others... Will the combination make a stronger acid? I assume so. Secondly, I realize you were doing it in the wild to get best air flow results for yourselves, but how did you deal with the small amounts of acid you used on the rocks? Dilute and rinse off? I'm just curious. You said every prospector should have this on hand. How do you deal with left-overs?

    You can dissolve a whole lot of types of rocks if you [VERY CAREFULLY] mix HCL and NaOCl [bleach] in contact with the surface of said minerals.
    If you wish to try this however, 1: USE ADEQUATE VENTILATION because pure chlorine gas is the primary byproduct! 2: Mix the two IN DIRECT CONTACT with the mineral because the effect you are looking for is the highly corrosive and short lived Cl+ ion [also known as monatomic chlorine, one of the most powerful oxidizers in nature] which, if left alone in the aqueous mixture will always find another monatomic chlorine ion and bind to them first, so you have only a molecule thin reaction that lasts for milliseconds at a time and this means carefully introducing the two chemicals precisely at the exact point you want the monatomic chlorine to appear or else you will have wasted it all.
    The way I use it most, [for stripping built up rust, or un-plating dissimilar metals (stripping chrome and nickel from steel was my last such use)] is two spray bottles, one in each hand, and rapidly alternate between each bottle, one fast mist of each chemical, then the other, until the whole piece of rock is digested or the whole piece of steel has been successfully un-plated.
    While there may be better ways to react the chemicals and other chemicals you might could use, this is the simplest, cheapest, most powerful way that the average person can get, and it is guaranteed to digest 99% of all the kinds of rocks you will find in the field, INCLUDING the minerals you are seeking to collect. ~( 'w')/
    WHY would you want to digest them? ~( ,m,)~
    Because its less work than crushing them, if you do it right. (~_^)-b

    maybe you explain later in the video than im currently at, but before i forget! what does it mean?? the first one that didnt react. and rock 3 or 4 when you said youll steer clear of calco-pyrite, why?? because itll react tooo much and be redundant?

    When you say a sample has free mill gold . Does that mean it's visible ?

    • @911mining
      @911mining  4 роки тому +2

      No free mill just means it's not attached to, or found as a replacement element in sulfides or other mineral visible free mill gold isn't usually seen till about an ounce per ton. You can have non visible, non free mill at over an ounce per ton as well.
