Striations and feathered look is what is throwing me off the garnet

Thought id share some of these slabs of Quartz I found jutting out of the side of this hill.View attachment 915542View attachment 915543View attachment 915544View attachment 915545View attachment 915546

Ohh and I wish for Rust color in that... lol !! yay! Awwwww

What are the minerals Im looking at exactly? Hungry for knowledge. I assume Iron is in there...and some form of mica. Its everywhere. Seeing quartz everywhere. White, Dark Red, Rose, Yellowish, Orange. I'm real close to a confirmed placer mine worked early 1800s. This is in a steep, deep, trench cut in to the hillside. Not sure why or what the trench is.

wah

What the heck is this? Its heavy.

Wil, I am going to guess schorl &/or tourmaline. There is an area very close to you that produces. I picked this up out there. There is also a beryl source nearby. Ain't living in Cali great! Gold & Gems everywhere!
How big is the specimen? Wanna sell it ?

Dusted, Can you tell me the minerals in this red purple rock. I haven't seen this before inside as a white looking patch of crystals I think are green in the one spot of this rock.Rock also has holes in it . I tried to get a closeup of these little green crystals to show you but hard to do. Even the white stuff around the crystals shines too. Looks like little emeralds through my loop.Rubys? Thanks.

 

[wilfndgold]

Poped this big piece of Quartz open Its pretty wild some Tourmaline crystals and I dont know what. What do you think Dusted?

I live in Yuma AZ and found these three while metal detecting the pot hole area north of the Laguna dam. Any ideas?

They all are in a quartz type stone I took them home and cleaned them up for a better look and I can tell you they are not bullet debre, or slag from welding or melted lead they are very heavy for there size.

OK I am stumped. I was reading about gold being found in organic material. I don't have a picture of one. But would like a picture or description of one.

OK I understand certain plants absorb gold and silver. Would the area be worth prospecting. How do I go from plant to the source.
