Hematite or Magnetite in Quartz and Nephrite Help Identify

[MrLee]

Found this while hiking up a freaking mountain. Weather was in the 80s here in So Cal in January! Lucky it was only the low 70s up in the high desert. Beautiful weather to be out rockhounding.

Anyway, is this Magnetite or Hematite? Two of the specimens are circular, which is what threw me off. Was picked up at the famous Black Jade mountain outside Victorville, Ca.

Are you sure that is quartz?

The pic is out of focus, but I think I see cleavage which may indicate calcite

Put some vinegar on it, calcite with react w/ vinegar (bubbles of CO2) while quartz will just get wet

Have you done a streak test? If you have a inferior specimen that might help.
Hematite or goethite would be my first thoughts. Magnetite is magnetic, strongly so it would be easy to ID.

No streak test yet. Did not bubble with vinegar. Figure it's hematite, verde antique marble, rather than nephrite. Will further test for that later.
