I put some 22kt acid on this rock and it faded slightly and that was about it.
My metal detector wont pick it up, I have an ace250 DSCN1962.webp

Double check your settings and discrimination? Could something have accidently got "notched off"?
Try in jewelry mode? Sorry if I'm no help, but good luck!

oh, and pretty rock, too!
 

I would guess its bornite aka peacock stone, google peacock stone, then look under the images tab.
Peacock stone is a type of pyrite also known as fools gold, some will show up on a detector, some will not, I have several types and have tested that

iron pyrite * with iron notched out will not ring up -in jewelry mode --iron is auto notched out on a ace 250*
 

I also have mine set to all metal. I'm just hardcore like that. I need to some how find a gold nugget to test on this detector. thnx for the info guys, we found this thing near a creek that has lots of copper ore
 

Beautiful rock!
