Bryan4u Posted June 23, 2023 Share Posted June 23, 2023 Found at old mine site, next to rock circle arrastra, high in the Siskiyou Mountains, Oregon / California border. A Magnet does stick to it, over all it is black to dark gray with streaks of sliver colored looking ore (Wish the silver showed better in the photos). Magnetite/Galena/Silver/Lead ?? does someone have an idea or how to ID it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Champ Ferguson Posted June 26, 2023 Share Posted June 26, 2023 ID is dang near impossible over the internet. Best someone can do is give you some ideas what it could be (its not lead/galena or silver if a magnet attracts). What i always advise people is to take it to a local college that has a geology department and ask there. Thats pretty much a sure ID. Or find a local rockhound club and visit one of their meetings or shows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bryan4u Posted June 26, 2023 Author Share Posted June 26, 2023 Thanks for looking at the post, I was thinking it might be a mix of Magnetite/Galena. I got some Streak Plates (Off-White Unglazed Porcelain) See photo, if that helps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
