Old Tom Posted October 30, 2018 Share Posted October 30, 2018 Just what is this, Crystalline Gold, Pyrite, or some new element? Sure is interesting how the earth formed it naturally. Old Tom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeoJack Posted November 1, 2018 Share Posted November 1, 2018 Any information on the geology of the area? Interested to say the least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hitchinamerica24 Posted November 4, 2018 Share Posted November 4, 2018 My question is did these crystals form alone or are they replacements? I know as some other minerals decompose They can be replaced by others leaving the new mineral in the shape as the old. Is that what’s going on here? I wasn’t aware that gold took those shapes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

homefire Posted November 5, 2018 Share Posted November 5, 2018 Gold holds many shapes and crystal forms. All it takes is one or two NON Gold molecules in the mix to cause a odd Crystal Structure to be followed. This Google some what displays a few : https://www.google.com/search?client=firefox-b-1-ab&biw=1361&bih=629&tbm=isch&sa=1&ei=7snfW5SzH9PojgTir6Fg&q=++natural++Gold+crystal+photo&oq=++natural++Gold+crystal+photo&gs_l=img.3...34691.35126..37260...0.0..0.166.473.0j3......1....1..gws-wiz-img.HktHWiFdrEo 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
