There is no other way to do it that I know of.
You can get gold out of placer deposits without crushers, but if it is still in the host rock (ore) you must have crushers.

Free milling gold can be taking from rocks by crushing and panning.
If you have a quartz Ore sample(with VISIBLE GOLD), it is worth more as jewelry gold then it would be crushed.. Just a thought. Google SIXTEEN TO ONE MINE. They sell gold in quartz..
Infused gold that is locked in the rock requires chemical processing

first, you hold the quartz in your hands. second you squeeze REAL hard. third , you wish upon a star. there your dream comes true. next question? yeah, keep dreaming. gold is not quartz buddy.

You don't.
You can't "crush" quartz (silicon dioxide) into a completely different element/compound, i.e. gold.

Have you ever heated a stone to red hot then thrown it in water
it shatters try this a few times then melt it out.
Or leave it in cut it up into pendants like what they have done here
