Found some "granules tungsten filled unwrought gold" in Indonesia.

Is it a "new counterfeit" ?

Is it a "new counterfeit" ?

If it is offered as Gold, yes I think so.
Test it.

Thanks....
Just wondering is it "a new form" of counterfeit or ever existed before...

Or is it common an unwrought containing tungsten ?

Tungsten and gold have similar densities, this gives food for thought ..

This seems like a crude attempt to pass off tungsten as gold, there have been many much more sophisticated scams pulled such as tungsten filled ingots..
