What kind of stone is that gold attached to?

 

[Oakview2]

Arseno Pyrite

 

[Duckshot]

I looked up arseno pyrite. It is about as dense as black sand. Did you pan it out or shoot it with a MD? Nice find!

Hard rock tailings

Nice specimen! How big is that one? Really hard to tell in a photo. Guessing it's closer to a marble than a basketball.

When surfing the web for gold porn try out " Gold with Arsenopyrite " some crazy nice looking specimens can be found.

Morning Oakview2,
Those are some interesting photos, what photo techniques were employed!? The one "Cleaned by Mr. Rick", just for clarity I would be interested in learning about his cleaning method.

Thank you..................63bkpkr

As a proficient amateur photographer, there is one small thing you can do to make them pop even more - raise the subject away from the background material. If you play around with it, you can make it look like it's floating in a sea of black. But these look great!

We use a common use a common garage sale crockpot, we excite usually the highest purity muratic or nitriic. If you can find rull strength hyrdogen peroxide it can be used as well. I don't know about heating it.

100% hydrogen peroxide is what the Germans used as propellant for the V2.
heating it? what do you think would happen?

beautiful gold and nice shots.

I have never used it, but seen it used and it was not heated, hence the caveat. I am neither a chemist nor do I pretend to be one on the internet. I caustion all who want to use any chemicals, to educate yourself and follow the protocols..... Thanks for the info
