Thank you for this site. I am very happy to learn from those who have come before me.
I am here to learn how to refine gold.
I have a couple of different situations, but I am learning on a smaller piece of druzy quartz.
I would like to get a fair idea what I may be looking at! I look forward to many an enlightening conversation!

Welcome to us.

What you have is a rock.
That is the only thing I can say.
If you have only one, crush it to a fine powder and pan it.
If you have a lot, have an assay.
 
I love those kind of porous rocks
and mostly if it is oxidized quartz .

that can be a very good indicator for gold
some time pyrite oxidized and left those porous in the rock .
with a very high resolution loupe or microscope
maybe You can see microscopic gold in or around those holes in the rock

i notice it is rounded,maybe You found a in or around a river or drywash.

that rock came from a quartz vein somewhere
maybe miles away a from a mountain or maybe not that far away .

if you can find the source ,it maybe can be a very rich vein.

the key is to crush some of your rock to a very fine powder and panned to see if it have any gold in it.
lock it in some of those little oxidized stringers.

Edited.
