[QUOTE="hAyyoUinAU, post: 391315, member: 10637"] That would be Nitric Acid and HCL to dissolve gold. The best way to clean up concentrates is to pan them. if its too small to collect with a snuffer bottle, throw it back and let it grow. A human life is not worth playing around with dangerous chemicals, unless you do tons of research and know what you are doing. Then you will realise it is not worth it. Maybe to purify 14K gold you would want to dissolve the gold. Allbrite is something that gets used, to maybe clean up specimens that contain ironstone and quartz... Also, never add water to acid, add the acid to the water. [/QUOTE]
