Sailorinaz Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I believe this is Peacock Ore. Found in AZ. Sounds off as gold with a Falcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morlock Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 Looks like bournite aka peacock ore. Have also seen chalcopyrite that looks similar to bournite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nugget Shooter Posted July 13, 2017 Share Posted July 13, 2017 I am with Adam on this one Chalcopyrite and a nice chunk at that... Will indeed sound off on a VLF detector. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sailorinaz Posted July 13, 2017 Author Share Posted July 13, 2017 The finder said he was out for a hike and fell through a crust in the ground exposing a large amount of the stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sailorinaz Posted July 15, 2017 Author Share Posted July 15, 2017 I am trying to find out more, and also convince him to let me go to the site since he is a hiker and not a prospector. He wrote Fwd: Yes there is a lot of quartz around where I found it and actually it's like a pretty thick vein and I got some more now I think they could be gold nuggets and they're clean.
