Description
In this video, we explain the Archimedes Principle and how it can be used to determine exactly how much gold is contained within quartz/gold specimens. Using several different samples, we demonstrate the process step by step and break down the calculations in a simple, easy-to-understand way. We also take one specimen a step further by dissolving away the surrounding quartz to reveal the natural gold inside, transforming it into a stunning display piece.
