garikfox Posted February 29, 2020 Share Posted February 29, 2020 Hey everyone, i'm curious to what this ore (rock) is. It's whitish/grey with some silver tones all over it, it glistens in the sun pretty amazingly and seems to be made of sheets of maybe silicone? it breaks pretty easily.

oldmancoyote1 Posted March 5, 2020 Share Posted March 5, 2020 Looks like the mineral is muscovite mica and the rock name is sericite. It's sometimes found in the alteration halo around ore deposits. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
