[QUOTE="22shells, post: 452158, member: 3817"] Thanks Pat. Yes I have scales. Not sure if I did it right though. I weighed it dry, then weighed it suspended in water by a thread of cotton. Then divided the dry weight by the wet weight. This gave me 2.59. Since it has a small bit of host rock attached which may have affected the result, I tried a different piece and got 2.63. I don't know how to do a refractive index test. [/QUOTE]
