[QUOTE="Jeff, post: 511726, member: 12647"] Its hard to make out in the shots, Ive got to admit- the last shot looks like chalcopyrite to me.( the gold coloured stuff) Given how oxydized the vein is, and those other minerals look like arsenopyrite( the grey stuff),the black mineral could be anything at this stage but Id guess a silver ore, theitd have to have sulphides present. Doesnt mean theres no gold, quite the opposite. If the little particles shatter like quartz when crushed- its a sulphide mineral. If it flattens its gold. [/QUOTE]
