I was burning brush and tossed a chuck of Quartz into the fire to see what changes occur. After it cooled overnight, I broke a piece off to carry in my pocket until I could find my loupe. I found it but I think I need a micron microscope I used macro on my phone. What do you see? I see a little pyrite on the edge but the little round specks in the face look like gold to me I need to crush for a test the hunt is on. The heat of the fire may have released a little gold from the oxidized zones.

I tossed the small piece into my jaw crusher and gave the chunks a quick wash one speck and some dust but its gold. I need to run through the chain mill but raining now.
