GeoJack Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I'm finding this material in the quartz seam and it always has a waxy / leafy look to it. A soft red color and in this rock I found some AU within the red clay. Anyone know what it's called and where it originated? Desolved material?

GeoJack Posted December 2, 2015 Author Share Posted December 2, 2015 (edited) Thanks Adam, I'll look it up to see how to test. It is soft like clay but shaped in waves and leafs within the voids of the quartz. First time I've found some AU within it so would be interested to know the process in which it develops.
