I have a small river what u might call a stream . One length of the river is clear water then it turns into a rust river . I don't think this is caused by run off . This river is unique i never seen nothing like it . What is the probable cause ? A vane of iron ore , A area of magnetite bedrock, or a iron meteorite . All the other streams nearby are all clear water . Any ideas might be helpful

U might have a bullseye there . Funny thing is down at the end of the river the sulfur on the surface so is a volcanic vent . I don't remember sulfur where the water changes to rust but underground down at the bedrock any thing possible , sulfur very common in this area , but this seems to occur in one spot and what i see i think i still need a source of iron to make all this rust . but u probably know 100x more since your a miner thanks for the info RTR
