I’d go with the stuff from Home Depot in the pool section. The green strip acid is pretty week and diluted from my experience. Closer to about 20% vs 31% with the pool muriatic acid from Home Depot or hardware store. Great vid bro. Thanks!

@@GeodeCrackerCollector Curious as to how your experience with muriatic acid has been. For me it’s been a nightmare lol. I mean it definitely cleans the rocks up but I can’t seem to keep the orange/yellow stains from appearing once they’ve dried. And that’s after the long soak in baking soda/water.

The unsteadiness and small size of the table holding the acid make me nervous. I'd want to make sure that the table I was using was sturdier and much larger than the actual container of acid so that the container wasn't so close to the edge of the table and less likely to be knocked off.

Great example of when a powerful acid meets a powerful alkali.. Reverse Osmosis removes the alkalinity present in water within the rock, but not the carbon dioxide which comprises calcium carbonate, or calcite.. better known to the layman as the antacid, "Tums" .. I, as with all sciences, love geology, but chemistry. It's cool also..

Oh ya they will bubble for days- u can leave them in for a day up to 3- I think cuz it gets more of the calsite off. But don’t do it for too long many cuz then it’s to much.
