Nugget Shooter Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 OK this is very heavy for it's size and the center appears to be Galena or Pyrite, but seems way to heavy for Pyrite. Never seen anything quite like it.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goldfinger Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 This is one I would have to see in order to even make a guess. But very unusual find.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilaoro Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Bill , Is that from the Onyx mine? It also looks simiar to marble from Wenden which has inclusions. Wenden is mosty shades of yellow.Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Probably Galena Bill. Here`s a similar one from a friends underground mine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wenden is mosty shades of yellow.MaxNo Max and it is very heavy and I am with Adam, Galena and the rings likely from decomposition? Not sure but very unusual and sure gives a signal in a VLF, but silent on a PI.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilaoro Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Might be a canidate for a stake Max Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darn interesting specimen though and from Vulture area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
