Hey Dusted,
I'm new here, and was hoping you could help me out with these rocks I found. I was walking along a creek in PA not far from Delaware, and noticed an orange slime oozing out of the creek bank. I am guessing some kind of natural iron leaching process? Anyhow, these are some of the rocks I found with heavy mineralization going on. Lots of blackish purple, red, and brown looking stains. Could this be chalcopyrite, or some form of pyrite? And my second question is do you think it would be worth it to crush and pan it? Your opinion is much appreciated, Thanks Dusted
