How do you tell the difference between a quartz crystal and a lemuria crystal?

Answer:

It's usually done with water in a panning dish. Gold is heavier so put the gold and quartz in the pan with lots of water and swirl around for a few minutes. The gold will settle to the bottom and you just tip off the quartz and repeat until you have all the gold and almost no quartz..
That's how panning for gold works. You put it in a pan, add water then swirl it, the quartz dust swirls away and the gold dust stays where it is.
