Massive Smoky Quartz Clusters found in California

[@morganh9200]

Amazing work getting those out of the ground in such beautiful condtion. Cant imagine the care that goes into moving & transport! Just... Wow!

[@MagicMiners]

morgan H thank you. Lots of work but so much fun and well worth the time and effort 😊

[@Pappaoh]

You guys absolutely kill me! what great finds!

[@WhimsyMeadows]

Wow what an excellent find. Gorgeous quartz. Thank you so much for sharing ✨🌹

[@lisamanrique1770]

We spent 20 years in SoCal rockhounding but have never heard of any place where the crystals are this massive!! Most people will never ever be able to go to wherever this place is - could at least give the general location area...... looks like plenty to share with other rockhounds, hhmm?

[@Doxymeister]

Wow--I'm not sure even "spectacular" is an adequate description! Just breathtaking!

Amazing Smoky Quartz specimens. I wonder how many crystals will transform into gemstones.

[@Chuckmbfl]

What is the solution you use to remove the rust?

[@MagicMiners]

Chuck Gotshall it’s a solution formerly known as the crystal dip. Not sure what all is in the solution but a percentage of hf acid. If you message us on Instagram I can assist you on where to get it

[@fredeblack]

Yeah back in the 70's I worked for Union Carbide Crystal Products Division, where we Grew, cut, milled, lapped and polished our own crystal products for industries ranging from Specialty Garnet/GGG, for bubble memory , Ruby/Yag Laser rods for military tank sighting, Silicon on Sapphire wafers that we etched micro-circuits onto for miniature electronic platforms. Growing 6" to 3" diameter boules in Iridium furnaces from a tiny seed we'd attach to a spire, we'd suspend into the cauldron of swirling mix of metals and ingredients. In the cleaning room after every stage I used hydrofluoric acid, a minute amount 10/1 with de-ionized water to clean and lightly etch each piece in order to allow the surface to be prepared for the next process. You must be careful with HF, it's not a joke, when Chemically Pure Hydrofluoric Acid comes in contact with say a human arm or skin, you might not feel a thing, but it Will and Can penetrate through the outer layers of flesh and get to your bone or skeleton and eat through and cook your bones and bone marrow, so use elbow length industrial acid gloves and watch for leaks, rinse everything touched repeatedly and constantly and like the shampoo bottles say lather, rinse and repeat..or you could actually DIE or be irreparably injured. FOR LIFE! And De-ionized water and say Dawn liquid gel would be adequate for rinsing after using the HF and always try and use DI water! Anything else for rinsing has way too many impurities. And even a spec of dust on your Wet Pinky's will scratch and damage any fine specimen. Often while watching these videos , I Cringe every time I see someone pull out a natural boule from the mud and wanting to get a look at their find better, wipe their quartz covered, muddy gloved PAW across the surface and ultimately destroying a fine natural specimen..if they could only see the damage their doing (microscopically) and (optically) it would scare them away from this Amateur-ish Behavior & Practice. The Products I inspected were done under special light conditions because even some types of light , especially UV could damage certain crystalline lattice structure thereby making them worthless commercially & optically.. They would be ground up for use as a slurry for cleaning lapping plates, OD and ID Grinders, slicers and polishing machines after a long cycle for their cutting and abrasive attributes,,nothing wasted! The key to a Museum Quality Specimen is to Never touch it with human hands. After each stage of our operation every lot would have a certain quantity pulled for in-proccess inspection that needed a 100% yield of those placed under a microscope for dimensions, size, optical flaws, tears, inclusions, facets, scratches or just dust. And until it could be achieved for said lot, the failed product would be pulled from production and red-tagged along with the machine they just cycled through and we would sample everything in contact with the failed product to ascertain where the damage occurred and what caused it. Otherwise the entire department or machine in question would come to a screeching halt. And would not begin again until the source was isolated and quarantined. Absolute purity of liquids and chemicals coming in contact with these crystal substrates was essential & required!. We would dry them after a cycle-spin with a filtered nitrogen nozzle tip at 70 psi drying several pieces pressed in wax unto a metal plate for polishing never touching the surfaces. Mother Earth is not so gentle! And so, a Specimen with Few Flaws (Facets) or Tear's (pronounced tares) Would Always be Highly Prized for Their pureness and superb quality! Just food for thought!

[@manofnoegomusic]

@@MagicMiners Hydrofluoric acid ? I've never heard of it being used. Usually Muriatic and Oxalic acids. Do you have any particular reason to use HF ?

[@MagicMiners]

@@manofnoegomusic it’s extremely dangerous but works extremely fast. Especially for super thick rusts.

[@fredeblack]

It actually eats or etches off a microscopically thin layer of crystal but is not recommended for amateurs, it requires special protection & training supervised by a degreed chemical engineer.
