gold ore

I'm wondering if this is calaverite , pyrite, or galena. It is very soft - but not as heavy as gold. It shines like silver and gold. Any ideas? Thanks for any feedback.

I collected some ore from deep down in a mine last fall. This stuff was quartz rich and stable which made it suitable for cabbing. Something to think about for highgrade specimens. Makes some nice jewelry.

She's got laser eyes! Chunk of extremely rich gold vein found. Prospecting with this gal is unbelievable, so far she has found 4 pieces of gold just with her eyeballs. Now we need to find the vein. A ton of this same material would be worth around $500k! Wouldn't that be nice.

How would you develop this vein. A declined tunnel from here? A short shaft then drift? Supposedly the ores get richer at depth in this area but it sure is nice being closer to the surface! We proceed to jackhammer out buckets of gold bearing rock! Now this is what it's all about! Hope...

We head back into the mine to do some Lode Gold Mining! Up in the stope, we encounter a rich gold ore lens alongside a dike intrusion. Chiseling into the gold quartz vein is slow going but we end up with some rich ore samples for Jesse to analyze. This isn't just a gold deposit, the vein also...

This was actually pretty interesting and fun to try. Do you think you could pan for gold blindfolded? Depending on your skill level, it may be easier or more difficult than you might think. Give it a go, it can be entertaining.
