Read MoreTo identify gold inside of a piece of quartz, hold a magnet against the rock. If the quartz sticks to the magnet, then it contains iron pyrite, or fool's gold. You can also try to scratch a piece of glass or unglazed ceramic with the gold portion of the rock. Real gold will not scratch these substances.

The northward ...

Read MoreThe gold-bearing quartz seams may follow joints formed in certain directions of shear within the large masses of rock; or in the case of limestone, the quartz may fill areas eaten away by the mineralizing solutions replacing the rock as a whole.
Read More2014-4-1 Pyrite often replaces plant debris and shells to create pyrite fossils or flattened discs called pyrite dollars. In calcite and quartz veins, pyrite oxidizes to iron oxides or hydroxides such as limonite, an indicator that there is pyrite in the underlying rock.
Read More1) Not all white quartz will contain gold lines. 2) Gold is also found in non-rusty quartz. 3) Some thicker (cruder) gold lines will be iron pyrite. The reason we do the scratch test is to determine if we have located gold of golden colored pyrite. Gold will dent and is soft.

"Fool's gold" is a common nickname for pyrite.Pyrite received that nickname because it is worth virtually nothing, but has an appearance that "fools" people into believing that it is gold.With a little practice, there are many easy tests that anyone can use to quickly tell the difference between pyrite

Read More2013-1-13 The pyrite in which small amounts of gold occurs is of crystalline variety (primary pyrite). The characteristics of primary pyrite are a absence of porosity, an extreme brittleness, a resistance to oxidation, and the existence of gold possessing a weak susceptibility to magnetism (due to a fine coating of a iron compound).

Read More2018-3-13 Take a rock that contains gold in it – this process works best on quartz rocks – and set it inside a glass jar. Add white cooking vinegar to the jar, covering the entire rock and then some with the vinegar. The acid-based vinegar slowly dissolves the quartz crystals surrounding the gold, leaving only bits of quartz attached to the gold.

A dioritic rock at El Plomo, in the same State, appears to be especially favorable to the occurrence of gold. At the San Francisco mines, 100 miles southwest of Gila Bend, Arizona, gold-bearing quartz ...

Read MoreInstead, over 99% of the gold is present as discrete electrum and/or gold (total range 0.02–59% silver) grains, which are largely sited in fractures at all scales in pyrite, other ore minerals, and quartz. Importantly, visible gold in py 3 is also sited on solution-corroded pyrite grains. The pyrite textural and geochemical data indicate that ...
Read More2021-3-31 The unoxidized pyrite–gold ore type is the most abundant, and is composed of pyrite and rutile disseminated in fine-grained quartz. The unoxidized gold–copper ore, which comprises pyrite, enargite (in Kasuga) or luzonite (in Akeshi), covellite, scorodite, and rare native gold within a fine-grained quartz matrix, is found mainly in the upper ...

In general, pyrites yields only a small proportion of its gold contents if it is run over the amalgamated plates, and if it is ground very fine in a pan with ...
