quartz

Anyone have any clues as to what these could be...found in south central pa. Greatly Appreciate opinions.

The first is with flash on and is a decent rep but the transparency is milky closer to the top and bottom and is clear in the middle. Is this an algae or natural colorization? It doesn't appear vivid enough to be emerald and darker than most peridot I have seen. It is brittle, this piece just...

Had a chance to hunt on Saturday and Sunday with the wife. Had some good luck - a few quartz points, a scraper, old bottle, and a lot of pottery.

What are these inclusions ? They all look slightly different but are so pretty! Any value here??

Not sure if I should crush this up for gold or keep it as a desk piece. A lot of different colored quartz crystals and a lot of what I'm assuming is iron powder on the inside. Pics are of the rock split in a third, pretty decent size and weight. Found it under a trees roots along a dry creek...

Brought back several kilos of quartz with iron streaks, pyrites, coarse crystal structures, etc. Dug them out of horizontal veins from the entrance to two small shafts. I have crushed up a bunch and gotten lots of shiny (pyrites and mica), but nothing I can identify as gold. Am I just wasting my...

yesterday's finds - need help w/ ID Hunted a creek yesterday and found a savannah river, a big piece of pottery, a quartz guilford and a plate shard. Am wondering if the quartz piece could've been a hatchet head? The other two big rocks are probably just paperweights, but wanted to post just...

I'm new to prospecting so need some advice. Hello everyone, my name is Will and I started gold/gem prospecting during the summer of last year so needless to say I'm an amateur. I live in the Piedmont of North Carolina - nestled between the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains and the Carolina...

I am trying to get some idea of the value of a Gold Quartz specimen that I acquired some time ago. I do not have the exact measurements or weight as it is currently in a deposit box some distance away because I am presently in the process of moving. I am posting some old pictures I took 5 or...

Hello, I have been finding these rocks all over. Can you tell me what they maybe? There seems to be no reliable way here and it is frustrating. I live in a town where they have a place for people to pan for gold, yet they don't know how to identify it, or so they say. I am on a very limited...

Howdy y'all, Come across some huge quartz boulders on a Cliffside today. Had the old pick axe out to look inside and here is what I found. To me it looks like some kind of iron ore mineralization. Any other guesses? Greatly appreciative.

Hi Guys! My brother and I were outside today and found this quartz buried deep in the ground. I was using my metal detector, and it seems to pick up on it. Not sure what it is or if it's worth anything.... We've been looking at pictures all day and can't identify it. Anyone have a clue? P.S...

Thank you in advance for your help Geologists, I am just so fascinated with the area that I would like to learn more about it. I understand somewhat of how different elements make their way up to the surface and fill cracks but in my limited travels I've never seen anything quite like this. What...

I've been trying to find out what I have here on the bottom left, and the bottom right. The latter looks like it could have been some type of knife? Any suggestions? Also found this small arrowhead (about the size of a quarter) last week.. :happy3: All found in NC...

I found what looks like it could have been an axe head or celt about a week ago near the Catawba River in North Carolina. I am pretty new to this and have no idea what I'm talking about lol. Any suggestions/advice? thanks, sosa961

Hello Treasure Hunters! My husband (we were married September 21st, 2013) and I were travelling around the Mother Lode, Yosemite and Mammoth Lakes on our honeymoon and we believe we accidentally found gold ore, while looking for obsidian. Although I cannot disclose the exact location, we found...

Every night for the past few months I've been holding my Phantom Quartz Generator with chlorite inclustions.. Just to see if I can get soem relief from my early stages of "RA". it seem to be helping.. But last night I wanted to look at the stoen while holding it. I took a small flash light (LED...

Hello I recently found this on the sea shore, is it white agate or quartz maybe?... Thanks from Scotland :) 1 bear

hi there, i was prospecting last week end in an amazing beach containing various caves... looking for some hidden treasure, and found a lot of quartz blocks containing gold. iam using a fisher gold bug MD and was wondering how to reveal the gold? what are the easiest method? i have read about...

I got this very large what I think is quartz on the Maine coast. Is it quartz?

So I have found what I think is a pretty good bunch of Quartz with lots of minerals and ore in it. I am sending samples off to be analyzed, but it looks like everything from pyrite to copper, to silver and gold. I am in the process of crushing it, but am not sure what to do next. So far I have 5...

Can anyone recommend a decent Assayer? I live in Montana. I am a newbie and have no plans to be a full time prospector, but do want to spend a fair amount of time in the field. I have found some promising looking quartz in an area I plan to work. It looks to me to have pyrite, copper, and...

What treasure does this quartz contain? I think I see Pyrite, copper, gold, and perhaps silver. There is more where this came from, a lot more, is it worth prospecting?

Hey all, I am a newbie to this site and the whole prospecting thing in general. I am a 45 year old disabled veteran, and have taken up prospecting with my 8 year old son, who is a real rock hound. I live in Montana so opportunities abound here. Right now we are doing a little panning and some...

just gorgeous,, new we had some but the Wife (Spanishblueyes) was Smashing ore for 5 hours and OOOing and AHHHHing, and out pops the first Crystalline Lead sample I've ever held in my hand..lol pretty! Thanks M'dear for your help today!

Hi All! I was doing a little digging in the back yard which is about 80% white quartz. I live right along Rock creek in Maryland. It Looks Like Gold To Me! But I would like to get an expert opinion. I wish the pictures were better but this is what I got.

Heya everyone; We were back in our spot today doing some more underwater sniping when I found a large quartz vein that had been broken up a bit. It looks like it is Ribbon Quartz because of all the pockets and being able to be broken easily. I can see the gold but I think there might be silver...

I live in a mining region of rutilated quartz, I wonder if you could use a GRP (ground penetration radar) to help us locate these crystals. The soil here (ground) is composed of: - 0-3 mts - Clay - soft soil - 3-6 mts - rock - hard - And so on repeating The crystals can be found on any type of...
