Pics are too blurry ..tried to clean 'em up but no luck.

Try taking the pics with a camera, not phone. Take the
pics from 2-3 ft. away (unless you have a macro lens)
so that way they will at least be in focus.

Being from Mass, you probably have never seen real gold in it's natural form. A rock that has a mustard yellow color does not make it gold.
Keep looking.

looks like microcrystalline yellow calcite hosted by slate. very common stuff.
sulfur and yellow fluorite can look like that too.

all three of those are indicator materials for volcanic activity.

look for heavy red and black materials nearby.

I am color blind. I have ocular albinism. My father imported gold and emeralds from Bogota. I have only seen gold in Colombia.

well Doctor, how do you tell the poisonous snakes from garden variety snakes if you are color blind.
how large of an enclosure for the king snakes are you building?

might want to throw in some Crotalus adamanteus(rattlers) to protect your gold... :laughing7:

so this post is about eastern king snakes? You rode a Greyhound out west to get rocks to put in a glass box and bring it up on a prospecting thread...why?

I am multilingual. I do my best. I am prospecting. It was a comment not an itinerary.

I do see color.... I do not see patterning when red and green are closelyvrelated colors. If the colors overlap the pattern is not visible in the center area... Even when I percieve both individual colors.... I can see any reptile venomous or nonvenomous.... L. g. getulae are great. I probably will avoid feeding venemoids to colubrids. I enjoy geology and herpetology.
