adam Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 Found this odd one several trips back. All by itself and no sign of any other similar mineralization around. When I get the time , I will slice a few pieces from it.It is rediculously heavy for its size. Appears to be loaded with pyrite and bornite, and cavities lined with malachite...super cool !

Goldfinger Posted February 4, 2013 Share Posted February 4, 2013 What a neat looking specimen. Unless it came from somewhere else and it was dropped, you'd think there's more around someplace. That area might deserve some more exploration.Steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Shooter Posted February 5, 2013 Share Posted February 5, 2013 Get some like that down Tucson way, fondly named "Green Turds" by good old John B. and many here have dug some whoppers. I have several here the biggest is size of a small melon. I think these were assayed by someone at the forum, but can't remember results other than there was copper, silver, gold, and allot of other stuff... Really scream on the detector VLF or PI...
