Found Rock, Magnet Sticks To - Id?


Recommended Posts

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

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.
