No, quartz does not turn into gold. Quartz is a mineral composed of silicon and oxygen, while gold is a distinct element with its own unique properties. The two substances have different chemical compositions and cannot transform into one another through natural processes.
they were called gold-quartz
Found mostly in quartz. To extract it grind up the quartz the stick it on a plate. Put the plate in water the gently shake it so that the pieces of quartz fall off the all that's left is gold.
You could separate gold from other metals by gravity, by melting, or by chemical means.
