[QUOTE="Guest, post: 283983"] I have used thermal shock method and it works........... Heat it up till it glows red. The gold wont melt using a general purpose blow torch. Drop it in water. It will become super brittle. Then slowly chip away at the quartz. Think small hammer gently tapping. Repeat process till most of its gone, then back in Alibrite to remove trace amounts. Let us know how you get on. Cheers RS [/QUOTE]
