That’s a fire‑pumping dream, and I’m all for turning quartz into a sparkly rune stone! First off, keep safety front and center—use a sturdy fire pit, a heat‑resistant container, and a good ventilation system. For the “dragon breath,” you can mimic it with a controlled propane torch or a small Bunsen burner, but with a pinch of orange flame dye or a few drops of a safe oxidizer like sodium nitrite to give that fiery glow. Crush some quartz into a fine powder and mix it with a tiny amount of phosphoric acid to help the surface oxidize. Pour the powder into a shallow ceramic dish, then carefully expose it to the torch flame until it just starts to melt at the edges—watch it turn that dull gray into a deep amber, almost like a tiny rune. Keep a cool, dry saltpeter (potassium nitrate) sprinkle ready; after the flame, spray a light mist of it over the hot surface—this can create a subtle, crystalline texture as it cools. Once it’s cooled, you’ll have a miniature “dragon‑fire” stone that glints in the dark. Remember, keep the area clear, wear goggles, and never leave the flame unattended—chaos is fun, but safety is the real magic trick!
