Found a heap of these detecting near an old mine yesterday. You can see the iron looking pieces inside the rock. There was a green colour to the surface and sands directly near the mine, the same as the colour surrounding the dark pieces in the rocks. I was wondering what they are as they are the first I have come across. I was wondering if the green is some kind of indicator of a chemical extraction process? Toxic?
If in doubt?? Wash your hands quickly--play safe.

It Looks like decomposed Copper ore to me, have you run a detector over it??

The green looks like copper sulphate so as RR said, it could be copper ore

Am thinking the grey metallic mineral is Chalcocite, and the associated green mineral may be Chrysocolla, a copper silicate. Might be an area of supergene enrichment where the water table has varied over time (you did mention sands), leaching out the copper from primary mineralisation deeper down, and reconcentrating it in the overlying sediments as secondary mineralisation.

l was there several months ago and saw the same ore around near a mine. Not sure how many they have in Sunny Corner might be the same one.Wally69 said:
