[QUOTE="lucas22, post: 119406, member: 4225"] Yup, Yup This is the stuff I Almost Broke my back on today Big goolie about 45 kgs Trying to Crack it open 4-5 Lifts & Drops onto Other large rocks in the stream bed till finally a Chunk of about 10 -15 kg Broke off. Heavily Oxidized inside pieces. Some of the Gold in my chunk looks softish spongy ? ..Could it be different type of gold?. Some are small flecks in the quartz but the main Big seems appear quite rusty 'ish & the gold is all around the oxidation much like the picture Above. The Big chunk of quartz I picked up off a Bar just below the Bend in the stream was sitting on top close to the sharp S Bend & its been Tumbled down the stream for ? Years or been under water for ? years as its Rounded of quite a bit. Some Serious Looking machinery you have there. Got my Hammer and chisel & will go back am tomorrow & Break half off & Back pack it home. If you have more pictures of the Vein I would love to see them & will load some of the specimen I got today as soon as my camera & lens get sorted . Cheers [/QUOTE]
