[QUOTE="Metamorphic, post: 131042, member: 3682"] Sulphur oxide yeh GD.......most likely arsenic and antimony contained in mineral matrix. It just looked like the quartz has that classic arsenic staining to me! OP said it had some weight about it which would also make sense with a SG of around 6.2 (actually contains 0.3 - 0.4% gold ususally) Classic gold bearing indicator, might pay to further follow and sample that vein it was found in. If you cant scratch it with a mild steel nail, its most likely Arsenopyrite! [/QUOTE]
