- 1). Look for veins of quartz in the side of hills or cliffs in a gold mining region. The gold will sometimes be mixed in with a bluish color which is sulphides. The quartz itself may be many different colors depending on what is inside of it besides gold and sulphides and also depending on the region where you found it.
- 2). Remove quartz from a vein that you suspect has gold inside. The walls of the quartz may have gold visible. A good place to check is on a diagonal section of the gold vein.
- 3). Take your gold quartz to a refinery or assayer to determine the grade of gold, the amount of gold and the value. (See Resources Section below.)
