Hey folks.
Check out these cool rocks/quartz I found close to an old mine in North Carolina.
I can pull some gold from a creek nearby, but nothing crazy. A few specks and tiny flour gold.
The creek is filled with black sand and not much magnetite, even using strong magnets. There are some pyrite cubes when panning, and I would guess that most of the black sand is some sort of sulfides.
I crushed some of the rocks to a very fine powder and got just a few tiny gold dots.
And yesterday I got more rocks and was going to try to crush them over the weekend.
Just sharing, I think it is a cool-looking rock. πππ
