View attachment 1315587 View attachment 1315588 View attachment 1315589 View attachment 1315590 the first is galena, just haven't seen it at my mine, ( thanks Austin) what is the second The third is the galena gold silver copper from my mine, The forth sets the metal detector off and I think it's a sand stone that settled with high deposits of copper. It has clear blue crystals in it. So not what's the third corrected what is the one on the right and the bottom right that looks like sandstone with blue oxides that look like copper? Is it just sandstone with copper oxide? Would copper oxidized into blue green crystals in it?

Whack of a piece on #2 and show us the fresh surface.
Covellite is often found as a blueish copper mineral. Although, its more due to oxidation if I recall correctly.
If its not metallic, blue quartz is also possible. But a new pic would help.

Hi,
Could you please identify this rock from northern Minnesota? Thank you.

A porphyry of some sort. Those are fantastic when polished!

I still come by occasionally, hellokittyholly.

Guru, hardness test? Might be corundum. Better pictures would also help.

I think it's mica, but I cannot find pictures online of mica of this size. It also looks like it has iron on it as it is magnetic.

How about this one.

I found this near a pegmatite dike containing a lot of milky quartz schorls and mica. Any thoughts?

Hi I'm new to this forum as well as the rock world. I recently found a bunch of rocks that were dumped in a ditch that was washed out and a lot of them are not native to this part of the world some have been cut with a saw some polished there are even some Flint blanks that were practiced on making arrowheads. But these rocks i found several of and have no clue as to what they are. They look like some pics of calverite but not sure any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated

I tried to post on this a min ago but am new to all this and I think I started a whole new thread. Any way I recently found some of these rocks and am not sure what they are. The was a lot of rocks in a ditch and they are not native to this land in West Texas for sure. Some have been cut Oren with a really big saw by the circumfrence of the blade marks. The were a lot of blacks someone had practiced Flint knapping and done geodes and giant quartz crystals. These I found proly ten good sized chunks of and have no idea what they are they kinda look like some pics off calverite I've seen. Any input would be greatly appreciated thanks

 

[hellokittyholly]

I wonder if this is brecciated jasper too maybe?

 

[hellokittyholly]

I also have this one that I am unsure about. I really do appreciate all the help and kindness from everyone here!
