[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 583346, member: 4386"] Yes, that is what my section on specific gravity discusses - I don't see any mention of :playful: car wheels etc. In fact I don't see mention of a specific SG identification issue. And of course specific gravity is no use for identification on most large specimens unless they are unusually pure. But yes, you can do exactly the same thing if you want e.g. to determine the number of ounces of gold in a gold-quartz specimen (I have done it on specimens containing up to 400 oz of gold in quartz - e.g. for Sovereign Hill). All the same approach, although I also give a quicker, simplified method for identifying small, pure mineral specimens. And I summarised what I covered so the topic headings are in one place - one only has to go to the topic one wants to find out about, not read a book......many of the individual topics covered come up again and again in questions and it is quicker to send a person there BEFORE I start re-inventing the (car?) wheel - otherwise repetition becomes a bit time-consuming for me.
