Bavarder sur InternetUpdated April 25, 2017. By Christina Hadley. To the untrained eye, gold ore may look like rock with copper tones flowing within it. However, professional prospectors know how to recognize gold ore within a multitude of minerals. Recognizing the look and the location of gold ore is easier if you know how to find lode and placer deposits.
Bavarder sur Internet2023.6.2 To accurately distinguish gold-bearing rocks and minerals, keep in mind the following: Look at the color, hardness, and geological location. Use a magnifying glass or microscope for closer examination. Perform density, specific gravity, and streak tests in a lab. Be aware of false signals like pyrite or chalcopyrite.

The aqua regia will react—bubble and fizz—if it contacts gold. The acid will turn the same color when the purity of the ore sample matches the test wire.

Bavarder sur InternetGold has a density of about 19 g/cm 3; pyrite has a density of about 5 g/cm 3 —that’s another way to tell pyrite from gold. Quartz is even less dense than pyrite and has a density of 2.7 g/cm 3. The specific gravity of a substance compares its density to that of water. Substances that are more dense have higher specific gravity.
