[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 104192, member: 3111"] Hi there mate, I'm not positive, but I do not feel that the rocks you have there are of any use, you are after milky white quartz, large, with iron ( orange or red ) inclusions, crystals and pyrites / semi-metals on the rock you want to crush. These seem more like river rocks, BUT they are telling you that quartz is nearby. Keep searching and find where the quartz gets larger. ONLY chase quartz if you know gold is in the area, otherwise you are just chasing quartz. Pretty much, if you find some nice deposit of gold, you will find nice quartz and sometimes specimen quartz. Another thing to keep in mind is, those rocks are rounded, meaning they have traveled a long way to become that shape. Reef quartz is very sharp and jagged as it has not been through a creek or eroded down a hill for long. Where are you searching and how? Can you post a photo of the area you are looking and I will see if I can help out! [/QUOTE]
