[QUOTE="madworld, post: 147677, member: 4766"] After googling it I know you find gold within pyrite but has anyone come across gold and pyrite in the same pieces of host rock ? Not sure if these pieces have 2 different shades of gold or fine gold and chunky pyrite or fine pyrite and chunky pyrite for that matter .. whats the easiest way to test other than crushing and panning ? Collected a few samples yesterday that look to have fine gold powder within them and chunky looking gold colour but is very crystalline in shape so im assuming thats pyrite and one large rock has definite gold traces , veins of what looks to be pyrite again and another silver coloured deposit that im thinking might be a different composition of pyrite Having trouble uploading pics but will get some [/QUOTE]
