[QUOTE="BigWave, post: 460884, member: 6786"] Mate, as I said, your measurements are wrong. If your sample (dry weight 25.68g) was pure quartz, then its weight in water would be close on 15.99g (i.e.: displacing approximately 9.69g of water). If your sample was was pure gold, then its weight in water would be around 24.35 (displacing 1.33g of water). So you have your measurements screwed up. No way its weight in water could be 2.99g if the dry weight was 25.68g Try again :D [/QUOTE]
