Pretty rock. What does it look like to you ? Found near isolated quartz reef but not near one that had any gold according to maps. Copper ore ?Screenshot_2024-10-11-16-27-06-51_99c04817c0de5652397fc8b56c3b3817.jpg
 
Bring it into the edge of a hot gas flame. The presence of copper would be indicated by a blue tinged flame.
Whether an ore or rock might be indicated by the geology maps or mining history of the area where it was found.
Thanks. I will try that.
