Came across this on a piece of land we just picked up. The previous owners had padded the land for development, then lost it back in the real estate crash. I went out to walk it in its entirety this past week and found a ton of quartz that had been moved in the clearing process, as well as a pretty large quartz outcropping. It seems to be iron stained IMO, and there is an absolutely ridiculous amount of mica in weathered rock. This site is in a gold producing region, and not far from several producing mines.
Curious to hear your thoughts on whether this warrants further exploration?
5th pic is the outcropping, sorry there is no point of reference. I'd say it stand approx 5' out of the ground and is about the size of a large SUV. The next pic, with my boot in there, is where I was standing when I took the outcropping pic. This rock is part of the formation, but it only out of the ground a foot or so. Im assuming those lines are glacial striations?
The last pic looks to me like "sugar" quartz, which I thought may be important from a prospectors perspective.
