[QUOTE="LC76, post: 343440, member: 3698"] Thermal shock. Heat it up over a kitchen gas flame holding it with cheap tongs and drop it into a cup of cold water. Won't hurt the gold as you will never get it hot enough. But will make most ironstone and quartz crack and flake off. Alibrite works well if you are carefull and patient. [/QUOTE]
