Cleaning Quartz Crystals With Muriatic ACID - My First Attempt

In this short video, I show the method I used to clean my quartz crystals with muriatic acid. I collected these crystals myself and they were initially covered in dirt, clay and iron staining which the acid will help remove to reveal a nice crystal shine. Hope you enjoy this video.

I used a Acid water mixture of around 50/50. They soaked in acid for 1 week before I transferred them over to a baking soda bath. I used half a pound of baking soda per gallon of water. They soaked in the baking soda solution for 3 weeks before being rinsed out in fresh water and soaking for about 3 days.

Be extremely cautious when using acids and make sure to wear the proper protection
