Probably have already done this, but have you ruled out mica flakes?

Cool story

Hey if there was pyrite in your streams at that level, your water would be quite acidic and brown and ugly. Are you sure that is not mica?

@@1TakoyakiStore Yes. Mica flakes used to be used in gold paint. Pyrite is heavier.

Pure salt crystals are cubes also

Whoever said that is an idiot

Whoever said that is dead wrong. As Cody pointed out, salt is cubic, but there are so many more minerals beyond that as well. Galena, fluorite, hematite, and many more. Heck, gold itself does a reasonably good impression of a right angle in it's natural form.

@@thekinginyellow1744 It's not an oversimplification to conflate sulfuric acid with sulfurous acid. It's just wrong.

I commented on that too. I think back in the day they did something different, because you can't just burn SO2 into SO3. It needs heat, pressure and a catalyst for that in modern plants. I don't know it from the top of my head, but I think they must have used a strong oxidizer back then. [EDIT:] 3 Wikipedia articles later: They roasted iron(II)sulfate into iron(III)sulfate, which at sufficiently high temperatures decomposes to iron(III)oxide and SO3 . Later they used a better method, using HNO3 (even later just NO2) to oxidize SO2 (that's apparently what I remembered in my original post).

That is such a stupid saying. A FEW people made it rich selling shovels. Just like with any other market. There wasn't an unlimited amount of opportunity to just sell the tools. Just like now days, back then, the people with the best chances to make money were the people who already had money to buy supplies and surplus. No, making it rich selling the tools was just as luck based as finding the gold. Otherwise, everyone would be rich.

​@@nerdjournal You're missing the point so hard I can't even begin to understand how. Seriously, it takes effort to have the point go over your head like that

@@stefansauvageonwhat-a-twis1369 That is only true for like garbo visual / decorative mods. Also custom lego pieces have always existed and are pretty popular so that was a poor choice in analogy. Its like moving from legos to PCB design. A lot more tools, but a lot more outcome. I dont get to manage a whole factory, defend my base, grow food to eat, and create and fight more in vanilla. Vanilla is not creative, its just yawn. Modded when done properly transforms minecraft into a beast game that blends magic, tech, and ofcourse concepts from vanilla to enhance crafting, survival, building and everything. Its basically like adding more lego sets, and mixing them up and creating something brand new. Again, reallll bad analogy.

​@@RUGRAF-rf8fi I did post a very short form of this at the time I did the other post, though. So far, no one liked it, though xD . But it is there, somewhere in the comments. Soo... Sulfur DIoxide + water *dos not* make sulfurIC acid but sulfurOUS acid instead. That's where I thought "hold on, the video can't be right". To clarify: we indeed want to produce sulfurIC acid here. SulfurIC acid is H2SO4 whereas sulfurOUS acid is H2SO3. I did have a look on Wikipedia and historically there are different methods to make sulfuric acid. But for the time period mentioned in the video the so called vitriol process was widely used. It seems the video confuses iron sulfATE(s) and iron sulfIDE (=pyrite) and/or 2 different processes, because one of them actually uses pyrite and the other one uses sulfates. Iron sulfATE is FeSO4 or Fe2(SO4)3. Pyrite is iron sulfIDE is FeS2. At the temperature pyrite (iron sulfIDE) would decompose into sulfur DIoxide (SO2). At the temperature shown iron sulfATE would decompose into sulfur TRIoxide (SO3). They then "just add water", but... ...sulfur DIoxide + water forms sulfurOUS acid ...sulfur TRIoxide + water forms sulfurIC acid So this simple process diagram would only work with iron sulfATE (or maybe other sulfates) and the depiction and wording to "simply add water" to sulfur DIoxide and you get sulfurIC acid are simply wrong in every imaginable case. You always need sulfur TRIoxide to get sulfurIC acid. Today we produce sulfur DIoxide and then oxidize it at a catalytic surface to get sulfur TRIoxide. And only then the water is added ^^ . After the vitriol process they used the so called lead chamber process. Although this process might have been already known at the mentioned time period, the vitriol process was still widely used until about 1750. The process graphic for the lead chamber process would be much more complicated, so I don't think the video tried to depict this one but the vitriol process instead. Or they tried to find a process that used pyrite (because the video is ultimately about pyrite) and took a wrong turn. In any case it looks like both processes haven been mixed here. For the lead chamber process pyrite (and other sulfides) were indeed used, but they had to turn the sulfur DIoxide into sulfur TRIoxide. They did that by adding nitrogen dioxide through various means, which, being a strong oxidizer, in simple terms forced one of it's own oxygen atoms onto the sulfur DIoxide to turn it into TRIoxide. The process is much more complicated, because everything kinda mixes together and you don't simply get pure sulfurIC acid out of it, but it's more energy efficient.

@@RUGRAF-rf8fi wtf, I wrote an intricate answer, that took my adhd ass at least an hour, because hyperfixation and checks on Wikipedia and it got deleted? I swear the post did exist, I edited it like 1000 times after posting. 🤬😡😤 . Well, here is the short version: water + sulfur dioxide does not form sulfuric acid but sulfurous acid instead. They must have mixed up 2 similar but different processes and 2 similar sounding ores. @youtube: f you.

I feel like you're trying to make it sound cooler than it actually is since "fous" is clearly just a cognate of "fools".

@@Eckster no, fous is the plurial of fou, wich means crazy

@@zacthesecretweapon9931 What do you think fool means? Seems like dingue or cinglé would be closer to "crazy" as it's used in English. Regardless, I just think translating it to "madmen" is silly when it's clearly essentially the exact same concept, and "fools" is a perfectly adequate translation. "Gold of fools"

@@Eckster cinglé is another word for fou yes, in that case fouls in your case in english yes

@@zacthesecretweapon9931 words are cognates if they have common ancestor, even if the meaning shifted and diverged over time. Since the Italian word for madness is „follia“ I suspect both „fou“ and „fool“ can be traced back to a Latin word meaning something along the lines of madness, madman, idiot…
