Bedrock Bob Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 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 Posted March 30, 2019 Share Posted March 30, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_day Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4meter Posted April 11, 2019 Share Posted April 11, 2019 No way its a Molybdium, Galena or Zinc ore. Im going with Obsidian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigrex Posted April 15, 2019 Share Posted April 15, 2019 (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, 2019 by bigrex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
