- Check out what we find in this calcite ore from a silver mine. an Hour in vinegar to clear and remove all surface contamination, then an hour in Hydrochloric acid. And the outcome is amazing! Native Silver on Calcite!

I gotta say, I find that extremely satisfying to watch.
👍 Beautiful Specimens Dan 👍
I seen crystalized silver in a silver purification cell many times, it is really neat to see silver in its crystalline form in nature.
Sreetips?
They look absolutely stunning Dan, well done 👏👏👏👏👏💜💜💜💜💜
Two of my favorite things, calcite and silver, I learned to love them separately and never knew they could form together like this.
Maybe I've been reading too much lord of the rings but that looks Elven to me
In the old text it would be Elfish.
Same here cause I know exactly what you mean 🤣
One can never read too much Lord of the Rings
Lol, bingo! I was trying to describe it, but couldn't... Elven.
Maybe I watch too much Stranger Things… I read eleven.
I remember from when I visited the Denver Museum of Nature and Science, there was a display where they did something similar, but with gold ore. They completely dissolved the quartz and what was left behind was a beautiful display that was about the size of an open hand, where you could see how the gold flowed through the cracks in the quartz.
Really really nice , Dan! That’s awesome and Canada has a lot of that material that people can still collect. Lucky Canadians!
DAN. Safety gloves! Safety gear !
Proper ventilation! Lol lol lol got to keep those hands pretty too. Lol lol lol. Love your videos. Thanks bud.
😎👍🇨🇦
Agreed. Also, dropping rocks into acid? Pour acid over rocks...
The results are beautiful, however!
@@jeremylackey3477
At the beginning, check out the container label. Lol 😂
It was table vinigar I was putting them in for the first dip. the stuff you put on your food.
Two guys my grandma wouldn't take snake hunting.
@@williambrandondavis6897have you ever had anything nice to say on this channel ? Nope
That's awesome Diamond Dan!
I want a whole video on this. So cool. And where did you get the rocks? I want to see that too.
Best try...Very inspiring and informative 🇮🇩🛠️⛏️💎💗😍👍👍
Wow! Those are pretty!
Wow!! Beautiful!!
So beautiful and fun to watch!
Gorgeous specs. Gotta love calcite-based ore.
Those are beautiful
Just amazing
WOW !!! Cool Thanks Dan
Wow! That's amazing! I love seeing the raw patterns made by nature in the rock. Thanks Dan.
Wow! This is the science experiment you dream about as a kid.
Lovely specimens!!
Very cool Dan, thanks 👍
That is cool looking!
Nice one dan
I value them at 2.3 million dan... well done
Beautiful rocks
That's really cool.
Frigg’n awesome looking pieces.
I’m going out in backyard right now and get some rocks to dissolve.
Stunning.
Very nice Dan sir you have a lot of great stuff in the shop thanks for sharing this six stars
Super cool!
Very nice.
Thats cool is that Dan....I love your videos keep up the good work Buddy !
Is this from one of your claims? Holy cow! They're awesome
Looks like gold😊
Top notch specimens there Dan! Nice work!
That's SO Very COOL 😎‼️
I love the way it was created. 🎉. Thank you for sharing this with us.😊
The easiest and best way to clean certain specimens. You do have to keep a close eye on them, disolve too much and you only have silver left, not specimens worth 20 times that.
there was a lot of silver hid in there
Very rich silver mine wherever you got those specimens from that's awesome.
Hey Dan, Looked like some AU mixed in with those silver specimens, are my eyes deceiving me? Lol! Your Prospectors Beard is looking authentic, Lol! ⚒️⚖️👍🤠
You should take them to Tucson, those are very cool.
Very cool
Beautiful pieces!
Thank you Dsn Hurd! You made my day. This is awesome!
Nice !
WOW!!
very cool.
Super cool Dan
Wow! That was super cool 😎, thanks for sharing
Wow
Nice!!!
Cool!
This is awesome. Great job🎉
That looks so cool. Thanks Dan for sharing 😃👍🇨🇦
very pretty
that is cool
Way cool!!
Pretty
Absolutely beautiful specimens Dan well done and thanks for sharing see you on the next one👍🏼👊🏼 p.s. is that from cero Gordo?
Cool vid!
Acid is always fun
Today, we're diving into the fascinating world of dissolving rocks in acid. Ever wondered what's inside those seemingly solid structures? Let's find out together!"🎉🎉🎉🎉
How do you dispose the acid when your done?
Chemist here. You can keep reusing it until it stops working. Keep it in a plastic or glass container, rinse any contaminated dishes with a good amount of water and pour down the drain. But if you need to get rid of a bunch of it you can just dump in baking soda until it stops bubbling to neutralize it, and then just pour it out.
thx for the reply@@noob19087
I used the left overs to dissolve some calcite off quartz, just let it go until it was all used up. then it is harmless.
Thanks for asking, I've got a container of used silver black that I had no idea what the heck to do with. 😂 Time to pull it out again! (After I find my safety glasses.)
Pure white vinager? Cool
Cool
Beautiful ❤
Some pretty stuff !
Neat!
Wow, that's beautifyl.
choice !
That’s super slick! ✨🇨🇦
Neat...
Wow! Those look awesome! Would the acid method work on rocks that are a mix of hard rock and soft?
I'll added to what others have said. Love to see you do a video on using acid and trying it on a variety of specimens.
I'm not mad at the clickbait title, prospectors have a limited viewership and vinegar is technically acid, so props on not misleading anyone, but maybe blur the label for the first 20 seconds or so. 😬 love your content Dan, if I'm ever in bc and brave or cognizant enough to try, I would love to at least meet you over lunch and ⛏️ your brain. (Humbly accept invitations to pan with you as well, but just an hour with you to ask questions and banter works.) Regardless, keep the vids coming, I try to watch as many as I can.
1 hour in vinegar, 1 hour in Hydrochloric-both acids. No clickbait. 💯
Supercool
🤔 ... 🤔 .... 🤯
Nice video
Thanks
10/10 asmr
That's COOL 🆒😎
That’s amazing
That's cool.
I'll take a piece 😊
Turn it into a bar!
Very nice..
Awesome
I wonder if this will work for druzy quartz in limestone?
so cool
So Dan, is that how most silver we see came about originally?
Beautiful !
At 1:19, is there a bit of gold, too ?
Will it turn black quickly (as silver oxydes) ?
Thanks for your videos.
Badass
Can you do that with Malachite or is just calcite you can do it with?
Nice🎉🎉🎉🎉
💙
Beautiful stuff Dan.
I have a story for you are your viewers, you may want to try some time your bored. LOL.
I had an opportunity to work on the Voisy’s Bay Project 20 years ago and heard of a process they were using to claim the minerals from the granite. They were using acid. They had used it at the mines in South America and it worked well, but the North American granite was a little more stubborn. They tweeked the process and it also became a good way to extract the Nickel, copper, cobalt for the granite.
A few years later I came across an obscure book on the internet, you might call it it the lines of occult, so far as it was stories, no one was supposed to have heard. I one that relates to this:
An explorer of the Jungles of South America goes off exploring in the 1910’s of thereabouts. During his trek he observed a colony of birds which were nesting on the face of granite cliffs. Flush vertical cliffs. As he watched the birds would fly up to the cliff and flap away in one spot on the cliff and rub at the face with their beaks. On closer observation, he saw they had leaf matter in their mouths. They would rub the cliff, fly away, then return with new leaves in their mouths. Somehow they would eventually make a hole in the face deep enough to build a nest.
Jump ahead 30 years and the explorer’s son is reading his dad’s notes. He decides to explore the area and try to figure this out. He travelled to the area and set out. He found the cliff with the bird’s but he did not find the plants the birds were getting the leaves from. He returned to the landing sight on the last day to return home and relished that all the metal he worn below his waist was missing. All the grommets, spurs, buckles, rivets, were all gone, but the leathers and organic material was unharmed. He had walked through the bushes on the last day but did not know it. He had to go home.
The author stated that it was a mixture of three common and easily accessible acids.
Cheers.
From this information I have come to believe the Great Pyramids were built from moving large amounts of aggregate and melting it into the large blocks we see today, with such fine, laser like gaps.
looks like there is some gold in your silver too!
👍
Is all of that metal silver? Damn
Do you coat the specimens with anything to prevent the silver from tarnishing? I would think over time a silver oxide layer would form on the silver crystals and make them turn black, unless they were blocked from contact with atmospheric or other oxygen.
The metals exposed after the acid bath seem to have two different colors, is it silver in both cases? If yes, what might be the cause of different coloration?
