[QUOTE="Sushi, post: 467021, member: 12342"] 1. hard to tell, better picture needed 2. again hard to tell, looks like pyrite of some sort 3. maybe cinnabar on quartz, hard to tell 4. need a better photo 5. should be more easily identifiable with a better photo, has a sheen and looks to have some cleavage 6. to me looks like Muscovite or Barite 7. no idea on that one 8 has a weird garnet looking structure. 9. calcite? 10.looks octahedral, should help narrow the search. maybe some very rough Flourite 11. quartz 12. ? 13/14. looks kind of like Mica (if minerals 13 and 14 are different then I think 14 might be Biotite). 15 looks like Iron Oxide stained Quartz. 16 quartz. 17 definitely contains Malachite (the green) which means it could be Chalcopyrite or a similar copper bearing mineral, if it has any blue colouring then you've got Azurite as well. 18. potentially something like Gypsum 19 is quartz with pyrite with potentially gold. 20/21 are interesting, very pretty mineralisation but hard to tell exactly, my guess is maybe Galena with rhodonite. 20. might be Jasper or slag. Hopefully these are right. Hopefully we can get some other input into here. [/QUOTE]
