I am an avid amateur Rockhound and Treasure Hunter. Looking forward to meeting people in this group . Here is a collection of rocks found together in Ontario Canada that I would appreciate some help in identifying please?
Hi MelGriffin
Welcome to the "Show" fellow Canadian!
Ontario, Canada is just now expanding it's massive Precious Mineral Fields.
The rock I believe you have shown is Pegmatite with Quartz and Granite and do I dare say Gold!
It looks like Calcite (white) with Marcasite (gold) Cinnabar (red) and possibly Silver (black). It's a well known mineral grouping in Northern Ontario.
You might want to ask Jim Hemmingway what he thinks. He's very experienced in the silver deposits in Northeast Ontario.
