[QUOTE="Goldtalk Leonora, post: 647381, member: 5638"] Sure, but I have rarely seen a specimen in 'pure QTZ". Nuggets and species always contain impurites....that is why we loose around 7-15% in the furnace. If you want to know the gold content then the only reliable...repeatable method is to bash it up...in my opinion. Value of a specie is a different kettle of fish....on the rare occasion I sell a specie, I sell it by the total weight at spot price. So, if the specie weighs an ounce....then I charge an ounce. As long as the buyer understands the are not paying for an ounce of gold then everyone is happy. [/QUOTE]
