[QUOTE="Colb20173, post: 647924, member: 22592"] Hi Folks, While on the hunt for microscopic gold, I frequently observe a lot of coloured 'stones' amongst the black sand, and quartz. Grubstake spotted a few in some photos I posted of my micro-gold and suggested I post more pics here to see if anyone could do some ID's for me. All samples are sub 1mm and from a quartz sand rich creek near Mogo (SE NSW). If they were larger I'd run some hardness & streak tests & attempt some ID myself but these are waaayyyyy too tiny (for me anyway). There are reds and oranges, a blue-grey cube, pink, & a bright green (peridot?) I'd greatly appreciate it if anyone had some suggestions as to what the main ones are.
