But i have been dumbfoundedly inspecting this thing for far too long.. i dont know .. Limestone Geometric voids.. what was in those... Where did they go.. There is mica like places shining through the limestone in places There is trace gold dusting in a few deep holes that confuses me.. Im just gonna stop rambling and let you look at it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemipristis Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 The voids are due to dissolution of pyrite crystals. Pyrite is iron sulfide, and can oxidize to iron oxide (rust), which is soluble, leaving the voids behind. 1 1 2 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'

Sjfriend Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 I couldn't think of which mineral it could be but @hemipristis idea is exactly what I figured it was. Some mineral crystals that eroded away leaving the voids. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
