[QUOTE="just starting, post: 497016, member: 14279"] I picked this quartz rock up when it caught my eye by sparkling in the sun. It has a glittering effect on parts of it. Heaps of small specks that shine in the right light. What does this quartz rock tell you ? Quartz with colour like this means it may have come from a gold bearing reef ,doesn`t it ? I got no signal from it ,but i thought it looked interesting enough that it could tell a story. I have cleaned it and the pictures show a rock that is completely dry ,so the shine is totally from the rock and not a reflection of any water. My pictures don`t pick up the full glitter effect of what i can see with the naked eye ,but it is there.
