[QUOTE="Powerhammer, post: 428756, member: 13181"] [i]Thanks Jethro The microscope shot is highly magnified and shows 2 Sqmm, The thread formation is through the whole rock as I have broken it across multiple cleavages. I have also found this formation in some samples I had assayed in WA which had high copper values. This rock is from SE Queensland. the black splatter which I call spherical's behave like a metal and smear silver yellow. I'm hoping the spread ability is due to the gold content. It doesn't flake like mica but holds together like a metal. Fingers crossed the assay comes back with some gold values. Sorry about the clarity of the microscope image shooting down the eyepiece with an IPhone is a bit of a challenge :) [/i] [/QUOTE]
