[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 279317, member: 3111"] I'm an everyday rock licker! :lol: just gotta make sure you only taste the right ones though as some are very toxic.. you don't want to lick arsenopyrite ..cinebar etc. Licking a rock is a quick alternative when there's no water, also it can reveal its texture. I guess ya gotta be born a rock licker lmao The two white rocks are quartz, the 2nd shows some iron staining, the 3rd photo is a granite ( cooled magma and what continents are made from). I actually think your metal is bits of lead and copper possibly. Start with a few tests: is it magnetic, how easily does it bend or does it snap / crumble, can your fingernail scratch it [/QUOTE]
