D.L.P. Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 This might be quartz, but its reddish hue is unusual...it could have iron impurities...but I need help! "All the dinosaurs are real, based on fossil evidence. Whether the rest is real depends on you.

Shamalama Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 Yep, Quartz she is! -Dave __________________________________________________ Geologists on the whole are inconsistent drivers. When a roadcut presents itself, they tend to lurch and weave. To them, the roadcut is a portal, a fragment of a regional story, a proscenium arch that leads their imaginations into the earth and through the surrounding terrain. - John McPheeIf I'm going to drive safely, I can't do geology. - John McPheeCheck out my Blog for more fossils I've found: http://viewsofthemahantango.blogspot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.L.P. Posted July 30, 2009 Author Share Posted July 30, 2009 Gold must be near by!! Well, this was found in Yosemite National Park, CA...and northern CA is known to have gold deposits...so it is likely. I have never found gold, though.
