My guess is pyrite in !!!! … but have no idea in ? under 10 x loupe the rind looks purplish .. This slice came off a cylindrical 4 " piece .. that had no other yellow metal showing at all .. except the one end !!!! That"s what got me thinking ! Anyways I hope to get any idea"s or id"s even if they might be complete guesses .. just say so .. Hopefully one of the pro"s here knows exactly what it is !! I do always speak so highly of rth ! one side is polished and one isnt . ..

I have some black material with small pyrite cubes in it from the Glendon Quarry in North Carolina. I was told that kap made some beautiful cabs from the same material. Maybe he may know what the black stone is.
