Silver or Gold ore?

[user 4386]

Have another go Rynofish. As I asked, do your photos look in focus to you before you post? There are plenty of people willing to give advice on your samples if the photos are clear, it is just that they are remarkably out of focus almost without exception. Any attempt to comment on what they are would be meaningless, other than to say that some of them look like they could be interesting. Keep trying.

Focussed or not, that dark sparkly stuff isn't going to be gold or silver ore - it's just pyrites, IMHO.

I was thinking more things like molybdenite, stibnite, lepidolite - which shows how impossible it is without clear photos.

Maybe silver ore.

Where did you find it?

From all of these photo's you can see how easy it is to get an ID wrong from a pic alone.

Even with an in focus pic it is still going to be difficult to give a 100% positive ID.
Looks like a lot of rocks inc arseno pyrite

Here ya go Ryno.... don't take it all to heart mate.

It all starts with a cup'pa

The how to of clearer photos.

this next one is jus a zoom screenshot of the photo above

In fact they are all screenshots (for me only screenshots load in right way up).

The cup method for holding your phone definitely makes for a clearer photo.... wipe your camera lense clean beforehand too.

Happy clicking
