Need help identifying several rocks I found in various parts of Clark County Nevada

[oberon702]

These samples were found just north of the Keystone and Chaquita Mine just west of Goodsprings, Nevada.


These two I believe are similar in composition to one another. I simply ground and polished the edge on one of the samples. These were found in crystalized sheets on the outside exposed face of bedrock in a wash about 3 miles south of Mountain's Edge in Las Vegas, NV.


The top two in this segment are actually the same sample as the one I ground down and polished above. I'm not sure where I found the last one.....some where in Clark County possibly down by Nelson.

Any help and expertise is GREATLY appreciated!

Try taking pics in natural daylight, it helps. And the rocks should always be pictured dry.

I do see one that looks like porphyry.

What EU said ^^

There are many properties of the rocks that are obscured by interior lighting and/or flash and/or water

#1 is typical Nevada chrysocolla
#2 is breccia
#4 is hematite
#5 looks like oxidized pyrite, cubic (check for magnetism on 4 & 5)
#s 6 has what looks like octahedrons, could be octahedral pyrite or marcasite (oxidized)
