There is gold dust in this rock too but not as rich as the sooty-black rock from the quarry. I have no idea what this rock is. It''s not quartz or limestone. Not hard enough for an igneous rock like basalt. Not brittle like chalcedony. Kind of like a carbonized type of metamorphic rock.
These ores should be crushed to release the gold from the rock. These are a few close-up pictures of REAL gold in quartz specimens. Although the gold is nice, it isn’t really very showy unless it is under magnification, so these are good ones to crush… Crushing

The mining itself can leave significant remains if it took place in hard rock, such as exhausted veins visible as clefts in the surrounding host rock, spoil heaps of finely crushed quartz gangue, grinding tools such as hammer stones, anvils and mill stones, and installations for the separation of the dense gold dust from the crushed quartz.
An alternative is this lab scale cone-like high performance rock crusher. Our 55 x 75 millimeter 911MPEJAC23C Crusher is fabricated to crush anything hard, from quartz gold or to rare earth magnets, into fine powder. Feed this little crusher
Gold concentrates come from a open pit hard rock mine in the North Ga. Mountains. We dig quartz rock out of our pit mine, then run it trough our Stampmill to crush it into sand. That material is then ran through our Trommels and that is how we make our concentrates. . You will get one of the 1 gallon bags for the cost of $50.00 each.
These quartz rocks had real gold in them! Running a hard rock gold ore sample from my Olalla claim to see what kind of gold value''s it contains. After runni...
Prospecting for gold can be a fun hobby, though it’s a lot of work! You may be able to harvest gold flakes from rock if it contains gold among its minerals. The safest way to extract gold from rocks at home is to crush the rocks. However, you might use mercury to extract the gold if you’re able to obtain some, though this is dangerous.
Answer (1 of 12): No they do not. Quartz is common, gold is rare. Quartz veins typically form when very hot water rising from depth flows into a shallow crack in the rock. The dissolved silica precipitates as quartz. If there is gold present in the water, it will also precipitate. The result is
A larger crushed quartz which is great for paths and garden beds. Being non-compactable, it provides drainage around the home while still looking great. Moonrock is also available as a dust for driveways and paths requiring compaction – “Gold Dust”

Anyways I brought some rocks back (ironstone and quartz in a hardened clay) and crushed the heck out of them then tried panning. Well I’m not sure but I don’t think there was any gold in them, but I don’t think I would have been able to spot it if there was. I crushed the rock till it was dust, I don’t think I could have crushed it more.
An Easier Way to Crush Rocks! Once primarily used by landscapers and contractors to crush rock for demolition, gold miners are now using them to both test material in the field, and recover gold back at home. In most cases, you can take your rock crusher straight from the shipping container and use it in less than half an hour.
The Comstock is famous for great bonanzas of crushed, mineralized quartz, in part exceedingly rich in silver minerals, were found at intervals along the lode, especially in chambers or vertical fissures probably produced by normal faulting of the hanging wall. Gold Panning, Gold detecting, gold flakes, gold dust, gold jewelry, gold crystals
Much of the gold mined is actually from gold ore rather then actual Gold specimens. The ore is often brown, iron-stained rock or massive white Quartz, and usually contains only minute traces of gold. To extract the gold, the ore is crushed, then the gold is separated from the ore by various methods.
It was underground, hard-rock mining operations that transformed California gold mining into a corporate activity. It was in the Northern Mines, clustered around Grass Valley, which dominated underground mining. In the beginning, the gold-bearing quartz was wrenched from underground veins by backbreaking, dimly lit sweat and blood.
These ores should be crushed to release the gold from the rock. These are a few close-up pictures of REAL gold in quartz specimens. Although the gold is nice, it isn’t really very showy unless it is under magnification, so these are good ones to crush… Crushing
40mm and 80 minus Gravel ideal drainage solution for rock walls or as a shake down on building sites Used for construction entrances & behind retaining walls. 75-150 Mattress Rock, 150-300, 300-500 Gabian rock for those special requirements available, also the product is always used for water drains, creek beds and mesh cages.
Allow four hours for the gold to dissolve, stirring every 20 minutes. The chlorine reacts with the gold inside the ore to form gold chloride. Filter the ore and bleach solution to remove all the impurities, such as soil and rock fragments. Collect the filtered gold chloride solution in a flask.
One of the points I want to make sure to mention is that rock crushing needs to be done safely. Quartz is made of silica, and silica has a terrible effect on one’s lungs if you breathe too much of it. In all the crushing I am doing, I use a good quality dust mask with a HEPA Filter (not just one of those little white paper ones).
Hi all,My kids and I pick up quartz when we are traipsing around the woods and take them back for rock smashing. Some are found in the streams, some are found in dried up river beds.I crush them up fine and sift them to about 30 mesh and then run them through a homemade gold concentrator. About t...
(Selling your gold) Some specimens however, especially those with a large amount of rock and only a limited amount of gold are best crushed and the gold extracted and sold to refiner (information about selling to refiners can also be found on my gold selling page). Here is a discussion of the procedures to crush Quartz or other minerals and

Q) I noticed in the video of the Gold Stryker 4000, it has several 5 gallon buckets connected to it that the crushed rock material falls into and there is a shop-vac hooked up to.Is it necessary to use a vacuum at the end of your buckets? A) You don''t have to use a vacuum connected to the last 5 gallon bucket , but it will make the material come out faster and also it will keep the dust down
The men carried 40 ounces of gold dust reportedly crushed from quartz rock in two days. The assayers refined the ore into a gold bar valued at $740.06, with a fineness of 934 ½. "The only account the discoverers have as yet given is that the mines are about 200 miles from here and are rich," Utah’s first daily newspaper observed.
In the gold-bearing region of Northern Sonora, Mexico, the gold-veins are chiefly in or closely associated with granitic and plutonic rocks. The veins of El Grupo concession, about 100 miles southeast of Tucson, Arizona, traverse a fine-grained granite, and hear both gold and silver. A dioritic rock at El Plomo, in the same State, appears to be
Unlike alluvial gold, which is found as very small flakes on riverbanks, gold-bearing rocks have to be dug out of the ground. We''re after pure gold, but rock that contains gold also includes lots
13 Jul 2016 07:11 AM. Saw an interesting Youtube video a bit ago. Guy took a lemon sized smooth quartz stone from a gold bearing river and crushed It using a steel mallet and t-shirt. As he broke it up, he checked for gold veins and found none, but panned out the crushed rock and found what appeared to be nearly 0.5 grams of nice gold flakes.
Using a heavy metal, smash the crushed rocks further until it is in the form of a powder. Ensure that the result is finer than sand. This process helps in getting all the gold from the rocks. The amalgamation process then helps in separating gold from the rock by adding mercury to the finely powdered rock-gold.
The profile returned a mineralised intersection of 127m at a grade of 1.33 g/t gold carbonate and heavily phyllic altered quartz-sericite rock. and crushed to -4mm at Aton’s
