[QUOTE="Shane89, post: 362619, member: 10881"] Thanks for the reply SC. That's two seperate stones btw. They are light to hold. I thought they were glass to be honest. I was told they are not though. I'm not very experienced at handling stone in saying that lol. I target the alluvial gold but decided to go through the screens and look for gems this time around. I would do a gravity test but only scales I have small enough will weigh 22 grams so I don't think I will get a big enough container of water on them to submerge them. Will quartz have less inclusions? The triangle shaped one has one point a bit smoked like in appearance. Sorry if asking dumb questions. All learning in my part. Thanks, Shane [/QUOTE]
