Posted in the other thread but I might as well post it hear too. Found this in a quarry in upstate NY. Idk what it is maybe fluorite? Sorry for shit pics.

Another angle. The bottom layer actually has a thin coating of what I assume is pyrite that the fluorite formed on top of. I'll post another sample to show it.

Left pretty much all my rocks in NY since I moved to North Carolina 3 weeks ago, but I know there's lots of cool shit to find here. Found this agate here the other day.

Found pic related on a recent field trip to northern Scotland
It's a piece of Torridonian sandstone with some pretty dank lenticular bedding in it

I had a really nice piece of amphibolite(?) with some lovely almost centimetre long crystals from one of the Scourie dykes but I lost it on the way home somehow

Good luck finding a claim you can work on, and I fucking hope you get caught if you claim jump someone elses. Enjoy your massive fines you faggots.

I'm a legitimate gold and mineral prospector and you newbs really need to get a clue
