[QUOTE="Hawkear, post: 668398, member: 4728"] Can the SA museum help with that? I had occasion to ring the Victorian museum about something similar and they were very eager to help people like us. They were happy to assist with mineral identification questions in return for information about the locality of the find as it helps them build up a mineral library of the state. You are not obliged to disclose "secret locations" but disclosure of a general locality should be a reasonable expectation. I would be surprised if they wouldn't also have an XRF machine that can do an assay quite quickly to determine if the pyrite is auriferous. One thing they said was that the specimen must be delivered in person as they do not encourage sending potentially dangerous substances by post. Another was that due to other tasks they could not guarantee when they would have the time to complete the identification. So perhaps give the SA museum a ring. [/QUOTE]
