[QUOTE="rileymcsmiley, post: 310799, member: 2445"] The thing that drew me away from thinking it was something like an inclusion is that rather than going into the rock it's like a stain... However you could very well be right. [img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/2445/1487516485_img_3731.jpg[/img] This cinnabar rock (from google) shows similar red staining which of course is the actual cinnabar, however the host rocks do indeed differ. I'll look into it tomorrow by maybe chipping off a little and trying to produce a red streak like cuttlefish suggested. An update will be posted once I've investigated it a little more. [/QUOTE]
