Rocks from a secret giant hole in the ground..............

[patraney]

I am not a rock collector....at least until now.... I have been blessed with making friends with the owner of a giant hole in the ground that was mined for gold way back when...... I must be careful and can not revile it's location because it is on private property. My wife and I love going there and picking up "rocks" from the ground..... there are hundreds of types... which I know nothing about..... So... here are some of our finds...which I believe are quite valuable...... Please let me know what you think.....

You have some beautiful specimens there. Some look like pyrite and others appear to be quartz, but I'm not an expert, just an admirer.

Nice finds.
You're fortunate to have such a location in your pocket.

Wow, Nice pyrite crystals. Is that Black Tourmaline? I bet your pyrite has gold in it. You guys are lucky thats a really nice spot.

Many of your pics have pyrite: cubic crystals, that can scratch sparks with a knife.

Soak those quartz crystals in a solution of oxalic acid. It will remove the iron staining.
