I'd be very careful with that, did you ever see "The Blob" ?

Meteorite maybe ? Hope it wasn't.
Have you found out what it is yet SS.
Not yet but i'm getting some much appreciated guidance from a member on how to perform some tests.

Asked the geos today... they were both rattlin off all this mumbo jumbo....that i couldn't understand...both could not identify from the pictures.......both said could be some sort of slag....then both said not likely to be a meteorite...but i would not take their opinion to serious.....so still no answer for you SS....Sorry :/
Thats ok Smoky bandit, thanks for showing it. Although i don't know what it is, i'm pretty sure what it isn't, it has none of the characteristics of a meteor. I was leaning towards slag but the way it's fracturing into separate pieces pushes me away from this.Smoky bandit said:
I've just had a really close look at some of the smaller shards, and when i move them different ways under the light little crystals glitter. Some of them are whitish, some are silver, some are green, some are blue, some are purple, some are copper, and some are yellowy gold. It seems as if the different colours congregate together in their own little areas or on different sides (faces) of the shards. Also the little shards are very sharp and would make good spear tips or cutting tools.
One thing you can do is take it to Roger Morgan you know him. Retired local geologist
or Bob Landt. Hope this helps.

Microscopic gold in there ? Whatever it is it's interesting.
Found my first ring today, not sure if it's real or a childs junk ring, it.s gold with 375 marked on it and a small red stone in a double love heart. doesn't matter it's my first ring.

If it's marked 375 then it should be 9k and gold (well 37.5% gold), post up some pics when you have the chance, well done.
i'll get a pic tomorrow,gotta find the camera. I've just come down to the bottom end for work for the week, bought the 505 along for the ride as i'm working where i can here the waves washing on the beach will try to get a couple of hours in each night after work, pretty stoked to get a ring in only my 3rd outing treasure hunting. Need to find some info on which parts of the beach to look.

For those that were interested, after applying tests and posting off a sample of the rock i'm pretty sure identification is that it is probably a manganese ore. I would like to thank Atom Rat for his guidance in performing the tests and the effort he and his friends put into making an identification. Cheers SS.
Haha thanks heaps SS, it was a sure mystery for a while there and have passed on the thank yous
What you sent me will go on the shelf, I recon its neat with the needles
