Do You Have Any Geological Questions?

Thank You Greg

Thank You Greg

You're welcome Jim. Now isn't all that gold color in that piece beautiful? I would've loved to see that mine in person.

[Jim Hatt]

You bet it is Greg! Would love to own a piece of that, but I'm afraid it is well above my pay grade at the moment.

Thanks Greg. You sure did some nice photoshop work on that, bringing out the colors. The Gold in this ore doesn't shine in pictures unless you shine a light on it. Here are some of the pictures I just sent you so everyone can see. The bigger slabs are like this, but harder to photograph as their size prohibits it:

HOLY *&^@#!!!!
I didn't know I could get "Aroused" by pictures of rocks!
That's enough duji, this ole' heart of mine can't take much more.

Thanks for the photos of the ore. Nice looking.

Don....

That looks like Wire Gold in the photos. Weren't we talking about Crystalline Gold before?

[djui5]

Yep. It's not the Crystalline Gold found in the Sleeper sometimes, it's the Gold matrix. The Crystalline Gold is rare in this mine. What you are looking at is the "other" Gold that they mine out of the Sleeper.

Thanks duji,
That clears it up. Except... which kind is it that you (or someone you know) have the slabbed samples of for sale?
