Reno Chris Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I've done a lot of IDs, but for fun and to make a point as to the ease of correctly identifying stuff from a photo, I thought I would post this, and ask - What is this stuff???... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
azblackbird Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 My guess is turquoise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
klunker Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 I'm guessing something with copper content-Including the dime. But I would also guess Chris has specimens from all over the world and perhaps the universe so we're all likely to get supprised. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reno Chris Posted February 17, 2015 Author Share Posted February 17, 2015 To be clear, I am not asking about the dime. I know what a dime is. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasong Posted February 17, 2015 Share Posted February 17, 2015 Gold with a bad camera white balance setting? Maybe lead or rusty tin bits? Yep, notoriously hard to ID stuff from photos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Kiesel Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I would say it's gold with a calcite (or some) coating making it cloudy looking. Not sure what the underlying country rock might be. That's my SWAG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rick Watkins Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 I see exactly what you mean about identifying by picture chris,i looked at hundreds of rock and mineral pictures and to be honest looks like several possibilities. Maybe copper? Rick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
