The following two rocks were found near the rock wall I posted a while back. The mica schist is not hard to recognize. The second rock is LOADED with pyrite crystals. They are hard to see. Some will sparkle but most will not. All those little "dots" are crystals.... about four dozen or so. This rock is a very nice example of a "contact zone". The quartz and the other rock has very distinct areas that formed next to each other as the solutions cooled and crystalized. The video does not do the pyrite justice. Sorry. Most of the lode mines around Murphys are in schistose rock. ╦╦Ç
