jax Posted August 13, 2009 Share Posted August 13, 2009 Fooled ya! Just fools gold, but lots of it. This was from the other day when Oh Man showed me a spot that produces large hunks of Pyrite. It was HOT this day, and we walked a long way from the car. My bucket quickly got real heavy, and I got more and more selective with what I picked up. It was neat to chip large pieces out of the limestone. This is just a few of my larger pieces. The largest being 3-5 pounds. 4x4 inches. There was only a little bit of the top showing, and I had to dig it up. I was shocked at the size of the cubes of pyrite formed at this location. If you want to see more, just let me know. I havent cleaned most of the pieces up yet, justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
