Two bottom are pyrite. Darker, distinct crystal cleavage. I think the two bottom pics may be the same rock! TTC

I have a flotation system set up. I can raise the ph to 9.5 to block pyrite from reporting to the cons. and when i do the assay is 0 for gold. the gold in most mines today is in sulfide form (pyuritic ore) there are many types of pyrite. so do the fire assay to know whats in it. . ohh when I run my flotation system at a ph of 7 to 8 I get a 200 X of copper reporting to the cons. and a 3 to 5 x of gold reporting to the cons. my next step will be to use pax and coperas sp. Ill save the details for my own thread.
