Impactite??

[rockpassion]

I have found a 10 kilo heavy brown rock while they where doing roadwork constructions. Location Nijmegen oost, Daalseweg, The Netherlands. It came from a meter deep and was dug up with yellow sand with alot of gravel in it. It atracts a magnet strongly and has signs of melting. It contains melted glass of different kinds black, brown, also there is copper or copperoxides in it (bright green spots) and pieces of vesicular metal and has fossilized twiggs in it. Could this be an impactite brought there by glaciers? If not, i would realy like to know what it is.

I'm not really sure what it is, but it does have an appearance of possibly being an iron smelting bloom.

yes that is exactly what it is but an old one.

That be my assumption

Hello, do you live in Nijmegen-Ost? Lienden is about 30 km away from you?

have you seen my latest post "fusion crust" and what is your opinion. Have not had a single comment

it was an old smelting slag and have thrown it away

I asked not about the stone, but about a business proposal, if the location is confirmed!

I don't know what you mean, a business proposal for what object? i do live in nijmegen oost.

 

[Vodorod]

I don't know what you mean, a business proposal for what object? do you want to buy the stone from this post? because i have thrown it away already.

I meant, if I give you the coordinates of where the lost gold might be (give you a tip), that's what I wanted to talk about.

No of course not! I don't demand that they pay me anything! If I wanted to, I would have written differently! - (personal message)

Administrator, I can't understand, you forbade me from sending messages? Without even making sure what I wanted and meant?

 

[Treasure_Hunter]

I did not forbid you from sending messages, I asked you if you were seeking payment for giving hints which would violate our rules.

ah now I understand you administrator! you meant that you can't take payment in advance for coordinates! I understood that! but at the same time I couldn't send a private message to "rockpassion", although he wrote to me, and I couldn't answer him and I thought that I was banned, in a word I still can't answer him in a private message!

No, sorry, it violates our rules to seek payment either before or after. Only paying supporting vendors can do so.

On messages, if he sent you a message there is a text box below his message that you use to reply to message. We are not restricting your messages..

Yes I did and I'd need to see it in person to even guess what you got. Just can't say by a picture on a screen.

very strange because there is nothing wrong with the photo's, all the legitimat sellers on ebay have similair photo's or even worse quality. see: https://www.ebay.com/itm/267015326243. Here i have marked the shockvein with an arrow and the maskelynite and melt inclusion with a circle.

SOLVED:

Bingo!

The answer will come from a call to the road construction engineer.

Same as the other Spiegelwaal rocks. Probably a local source used in the construction industry. 🤓

Basalt near the
Spiegelwaal in Nijmegen, Netherlands, refers to the construction material used for bank protection, specifically in the form of rock groynes, barriers, and reinforcement blocks. These basalt blocks, along with asphalt, form a barrier between the river Waal and its new secondary channel, the Spiegelwaal.

Key Details on Basalt at Spiegelwaal:

Function: The basalt blocks are used for reinforcing the river bottom and banks, particularly to prevent erosion.
Location: They are present along the banks, in river groynes, and in the barriers separating the main river from the Spiegelwaal channel.
Visibility: These structures are often visible, especially during periods of low water levels, such as in summer.

These volcanic rocks are imported for hydraulic engineering projects in the Netherlands, including the stabilization of the Waal riverbed near the Nijmegen Waalkade.

River rock without specific origin. High probability with surrounding Basalt, the rocks are volcanic in origin.

With potential for intermittent and random eruptions over millions of years, it could be an interesting study!
