Location is secret, the stash is plenty, the element is in question. Is it gold flake on this quartz or some form of pyrite? I believe its gold....well, Im hoping its gold. If its true, this might mean there is more in this little off road area, tucked away in a place never mined before.
As you can see, the pieces were substantially large in some areas. Compared to my hammer, its a decent sized specimen.
This is probably my favourite of the bunch, it glows a shimmering gold colour in any light. from front to back its got showings of gold.
Uraninite? combination specimen
(If anyone can help me with this I would appreciate it)
There is quartz on the bottom with what appears to be a layer of pyrite followed by these black crystals BUT WAIT!! to the left of those crystals/gems is a tiny piece of galena. I need to take a better photo as my iphone just wasnt getting a good shot. but its quite easy to tell in person that its galena, so, that leaves me with these mystery crystals/gems. all in all, 4 elements on one matrix makes me one happy hiker.
Is the black mineral uraninite?
Another shot, still cant see the galena but it gives a better showing of the quartz.
any ideas? shale with iron staining?
Its seems to have pyrite on some samples.
schist?
View of everything collected in Madoc trip. Large batch of gold covered quartz separated into two categories, quartz with visible gold on/in it, and D grade gold quartz, barely visible with gold but from the same area.
Another large quartz with gold wrapping around it.
This is the last of the large gold covered quartz, WOW, what a looker.
One more shot of the mammoth quartz gold rock.
Found this in my backyard, It seems to have many fossils in it.
There seems to be three different fossils embedded that I can see so far.
