Bedrock Bob 2,098 Posted March 30 It is probably a tungsten or molybdenum ore. I see some little red crystals. Probably wolfram, wulfenite or a similar mineral. This type of mineral is fairly common in a lead/zinc ore like you are showing us. It could certainly be some other lead related mineral like galena that is in a state of change.

Morlock 1,070 Posted March 30 Can you take pictures in natural light? It's too dark to discern the different minerals. Ditto on your other post as well. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

d_day 153 Posted April 11 I’m going to guess either low grade obsidian, slag, or common opal. All can only be guesses when there is no more information besides a photo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
4meter 160 Posted April 11 No way its a Molybdium, Galena or Zinc ore. Im going with Obsidian. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigrex 52 Posted April 15 (edited) Is it opaque, is it of metallic or glassy luster? Hard to tell in the photos. Does it seem heavy for it's size? Edited April 15 by bigrex Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
