[QUOTE="SWright, post: 349533, member: 1541"] G'Day All My guess would be arsenopyrite, even if you did not get a smell. Sometimes you have to hit the stuff and quickly get a whiff right up close. Arsenopyrite is a typical wall rock alteration close to some metal bearing veins. Though as others have said may need a closer photograph. Individual arsenopyrite grains often have a triangular section, pyrite small cubes, galena has cubic cleavage and molybdenite is soft and flaky. Araluen [/QUOTE]
