HOW TO CLEAN CRYSTALS with Oxalic Acid | Cheap & Simple DIY Mineral Cleaning

Today's episode is an instructional & educational video for rockhounds and mineral collectors interested in learning more about the process of cleaning your own fresh quartz crystal finds from Arkansas. Oxalic Acid is the premier way to remove iron oxides and other mineral stains from your quartz crystals. It also works well on all other types of quartz (Rose Quartz, Amethyst, Smoky Quartz) and some other minerals. Oxalic Acid is what all the commercial crystal mines in Arkansas use and it is readily available for purchase at most mines and a few rock shops. Below is a link to purchase oxalic acid on the internet if you can't find it locally. Other products that work are Iron Out or Barkeeper's Friend. Some mines (e.g. Sweet Surrender Crystal Mine) have such heavy mineral deposits on the crystals' surfaces that Muriatic Acid is used. Extreme care needs to be considered when handling any acid. I hope you find this video helpful and insightful. Here are instructions in writing: 1 pound of oxalic acid diluted in 2 - 3 gallons of water is the best and correct amount. You can use this solution many many times until it gets dark green and sediments collect at the bottom. To clean (sandstone base) clusters, use a fresh solution. Points will clean easily in a mild solution and in older mixtures. Heating up the solution will greatly speed up the process, but a cold soak also works. Always use acids in a well-ventilated area (outside). Before disposing of the acid, make sure to neutralize it with wood ashes, lime or baking soda. Extreme care needs to be considered when handling any acid. ⚫ OXALIC ACID MSDS: http://www.tn.edu/ehs/msds/o/Oxalic%2... ❗We now have a physical store location in Mount Ida, Arkansas.❗ We are located at 671 Owley Road, which is on the way to many of the Crystal Mines.
