[QUOTE="davsgold, post: 675208, member: 6570"] gold melts at around 1064deg C if you don't get a blob of gold in something your using to melt at these temps then it is NOT gold "Can you melt pyrite? [B]Pyrite doesn't melt[/B]. When heated, it gives off part of its sulphur and turns into pyrrhotite. Further heating, with plenty of air, will cause it to burn, leaving iron oxide ("rust"). And heating destroys calcite too." [/QUOTE]
