i have a rock that has gold in it the rock looks like dark red glass. some iron dust is on the out side what is it the glass stuff.
probably amber?
Lot's of things get caught in amber.
@elfcrystals,
What makes you think the stuff inside is gold?
@elfcrystals,
Gold appears associated with quartz.
Quote:The soil has a high iron content that gives the quartz rock enclosed in the specimens a rich red color.
Alteratively, it could be iron pyrite . . . fool's gold.
Irony . . . is that the mineral form of iron?
@OmSigDAVID,
i cut it obsidian appears to be right. it with stood the nitric test just small flecks of gold should make the gransd child a nice pendant. thanks
