Frank,

Not knowing $#!t about rocks, I end up picking up useless rocks like this one:









On the other hand, it is nice looking.

Take care,

Joe

 

[Army of 1]

Gotta ask Joe , is that a real deal specimen or pyrites .. cheers Mick ..ps i would have picked it up ( i know crap about minerals )

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

chalcopyrite...with some serious metal deposits...copper, gold, silver, lead, and zinc....just a guess.


I begin to believe joe is full of poo when he says he doesn't know his rocks.

Donald,

I really don't. On the other hand, I would guess you are, pretty much, on the money. If so, that would also answer Army of 1's question.

Take care,

Joe

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

well joe, for someone who doesn't know his rocks...you seem to post a few of high quality ore...

Looks like bornite (peacock copper). Hard to guess without a better photo.

 

[pippinwhitepaws]

gosh springfield...you do know that peacock ore and chalcopyrite are the one and the same?

Springfield,

I believe you, and Donald, are both correct. Is that possible

Perhaps this is an answer:

Thanks,

No, those bing photos are wrong. That Ebay bornite specimen looks very similar to yours. Chalcopyrite, like pyrite, is quite often found in well-defined metallic crystals. And often massive - when they closed down the underground workings of Cobre Mines, a couple miles west of Santa Rita, NM, they left unmined a million ton block of solid chalcopyrite 'for later'.

Really neat looking. I would love to get back into this. I also have never seen a machine without the carpet. I would fly to Arizona just to check this beauty out and see her in action with my own eyes. Wait I better not I'd end up selling my house and moving south. yikes my wife already puts up with my MD-ing addiction she would kill me if I started this again. ha.

Yeah, I know what you mean. I picked up this rock in an eroded cut in a dump on the mountain up above my house last week before the bad weather came in. It's on the patented Aztec Claim on Pinos Altos Mountain - and it's not even ore.
