TomH Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Well heck.. When I was out looking for some yellow stuff on Sun. I found this rock that was about 3/4 inch round. It was in a ironstone area with red dirt.Brought it home and today I was playing with it.Decided to hit it with a hammer just to see what it looked like cracked in half. DOH!....it was a little geode looking thing...but it broke in a bunch of pieces.Anyone know what it might be?Please dont tell me its worth 3000 a gram unbroken Tom H.

adam Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Tom, its only worth 2,999.00 a gram........Sorry !The piece on the left is pretty cool because it appears to have an isolated selenium or calcite crystal on a bed of smaller crystals....Cool find , but not worth much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uncle Ron Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Tom, I believe that's calcite or quartz, depending on hardness ... I know where there's a good sized patch of them ... You never know what's going to be inside them ... Often they look like yours but sometimes there's other stuff, like black shiny something or even some galena looking stuff .... Another place I found a bunch of those like yours with very well formed and terminated quartz crystals that are mainly clear... Unfortunately, I don't think they're worth more that $5 or $10 each to mineral collectors... Cheers, Unc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Relichunter2 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 With some imagination, I can see a yellow yoke of crystalline gold inside it. But than I am a dreamer.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Micro Nugget Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Tom, did you get a signal from it? Or did you just eyeball it and pick it up as a curiosity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomH Posted August 6, 2014 Author Share Posted August 6, 2014 No signal...just a purty rock to put in my pocket.Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
