What if I had 24k pure raw gold?

They tell me it doesn't exist. They tell me I can't crumble gold with my fingers. I have found the elusive pure gold! It tests pure some of it is in octahedral shapes. It's truly amazing. I need to know who can help me get this purity authenticated. All help will be appreciated! Last pic shows 22kt nitric acid test results..

I assure you I'm not one of those so called gold trolls. I don't have time for all that. I'm here because I have the real deal. I know what it is. I've tested it myself along with 4 professionals so far. The last two pics show a 22kt nitric acid test. New bottle and results I am attaching some of the better pictures. Alot are of the same pieces at multiple angles and different lighting angles. One picture is the rock it came from. They are near impossible to take a good picture of due to the reflectiveness most of the shots come out as a bright flash only.
Take the flash feature off. Take item into natural lighting, hold in palm, click, click, click.
Now pick the clearest photo.
If you test this rock, I am sure this photo part can be accomplished.
Shiny, blurry photos are not convincing the readership.

Look,I,m not going to argue this about what is or isn,t allowed or frowned upon.We have great moderators and I,m certain one of them will let me know if I,m on the wrong road. I,ve always found your posts to be informative and well written,well thought out and concise. I always read them when I see them. and enjoy them.If I somehow offended you personally,my apologies. I make no apologies for the information I requested as to the validity of this claim.Sincerely,Crash.
You said no offense taken, yet your last 3 posts in a row seem to indicate otherwise. I’m sorry you took offense. I’m not one to be attacking other members here. I simply said be careful opining on if it’s falsely being represented as gold. Shake it off man. No need to go full throttle defending yourself. Really. What if we were standing around a camp fire? Would ya go off over a comment like that?? If so I’ve misjudged your online persona.

Any way the OP has been viewing this thread tonight and hasn’t joined the discussion. A few simple questions have been asked that might be easily addressed.
Just curious who the OP is? And how can I know when they are viewing? It does not matter to me if anyone views, just like to learn how to do or see things.

I just want the questions answered,who are your professionals who tested the alleged gold? Are you going to get an assay to prove or disprove the claim as to 24K gold. If this isn,t done all this is an exercise in he said,she said.

It is pure crystalline. It tests as pure gold. I'm not sure where it came from due to my wife inheriting it from her father who accquired it many years ago. It is many nuggets although mostly small with a few over 1g, it was in a hard rock but it was not as hard as a normal rock. As it was broke open with ease and rock broke from nuggets with pliers. Come to find out the dark black rock it was in tests positive as 24k gold too. The gold itself is soft enough to pull apart by fingers alone, it separates in layers and crumbles between fingernails. It's truly remarkable. Pictures are near impossible to capture true color and beauty due to its high reflectivity! 24k nuggets are impossible to find. This is 24k crystalline gold. If you look at the pics you can see they octahedron crystal shapes in some. I am amazed and trying to find a way to get this rarity known. I have posted a video on YouTube of me crumbling and testing this gold. See
attached photo for video name.

He will not give us even specific gravity. I asked for that days ago.
It wouldn't test at 22kt if it weren't. It's all in the video. I am here for that info. Trying to find who to contact. Like I said it's not a question if it's gold. That's not why I'm here. I am seeking the answer you gave me. At the same time it is crystalline gold and the one place I took it with the machine said it was too soft to put it in the machine to give that print out. I don't want to refine it then test it that would defeat the purpose. . Same person didn't believe it was gold either as everyone is skeptics until he did the 18kt nitric acid test after saying all that. After he tested it with 18kt acid he was completely dumbfounded and says it is the purest he's ever seen and he is in the gold business. I appreciate the help. You can see it for yourself on the video I posted and watch me test it with 22kt nitric acid. It's interesting to say the least.

Days ago? I posted this last night. Anyhow specific gravity? Who can test that? I don't claim to be an expert. I'm here trying to figure this out. Not be discredited. I have tested as much as I can at the current moment. Trying to find where to send it to be tested so I can give all these details you ask for. Who can test a super soft crystalline gold for us all to know?

a $10 test at home will provide the most definitive answers you are looking for. Very easy and much cheaper and less destructive than sending your specimens out for testing. Specific gravity (ratio of weight in air to weight in water). Pure gold is 19.32, which will be dramatically higher than any other goldish looking mineral you may have. Could you upload a video of your test if you choose to verify the purity of your gold? Im sure we could all learn something from it.

Bodfish...Only watched a few seconds of it, but that looks like Will Ferrell. Some folks think he's funny, but I can't stand the guy. I'll have to check
out their Youtube channel.

They are beautiful specimens, no doubt, but whether they are actually
gold...well, the jury is still out (for me).

Is it possible they are a pyrite/gold mix? I've never seen gold look like a
terminated crystal.

None of these pics have a flash feature on.
None of those pictures are taken in natural lighting as requested.
You aren't playing us for fools here, are you?
You requested the readership view points on what you have.
Yet you aren't giving answers, or even a simple photo that has has been taken in natural lighting.
Why?
Because it will show that the rocks are not as shiny?
To repost photos of already posted photos doesn't accomplish anything.
