[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 583710, member: 4386"] What an awful problem to have! :playful: It can be done on smaller pieces, but they will not really tell you anything that is really useful, and I wonder if you might destroy a specimen that is worth more intact. It can be done on the piece as a whole anyway, which would be very useful, but you need to go to a lot of trouble to do so (but would probably need to in order to sell it). The SG method would only work accurately if it is very pure quartz and gold, without iron oxides, carbonate minerals, sulphide minerals etc., depending on the proportions of other minerals. Do you have a photo to make it easier to advise? [/QUOTE]
