Ore Minerals Info Bomb


Recommended Posts


Hi Idahogold… an excellent, fundamental review of some of the major ore types, with special emphasis on the sulfide and oxide groups. It provided specific information that would interest both newcomers and seasoned rockhounders. Glad I saw it, as we’ve recently been away scouting new collecting sites in eastern Ontario. 

We just happened to visit a site that produced radioactive minerals on a commercial scale, not unlike the uraninite discussed in this video. The radioactive example depicted below results from the alteration of uraninite to colorful, waxy luster gummite. I think that is a solid identification, but do stand to be corrected. 

Many thanks Idaho for an instructive video, it was a pleasure to read over a cup of coffee.....................Jim.
