Hi. New to the forum and came for some help hopefully.
I was cleaning out several family boxes in my basement. Opened up an old diamond matchstick box and it had gold pieces with a note from my grandfather that read "experiment. Arsenic Sulphide with Gold. Gelchel Mine."
I have no clue what he might mean by experiment? Also, would the arsenic be dangerous in rock form?
He lived in California and panned for gold often but died when I was young. Any help is appreciated!
