[QUOTE="Piep, post: 85016, member: 3017"] Anyway, it vaporises very easily under a torch. Just put it on a heatproof pad (OUTSIDE for goodness sake! :-) ) and aim a torch long enough to vaporise the mercury, but not so long the gold melts. Put a fan beside you to direct airflow away from your face and you're all good. How did the old timers seperate the gold from the amalgam? Did they use heat? Chemicals? Voodoo? [/QUOTE]
