I might take you up on that Scott, as long as I can fit it in my saw. Working cutting this one down to size so I can get a cut off the side where all those little pyrite? pieces are.

could be gold. push a pin into it. pyrite will crack and gold will allow the pin to penetrate.

Couldn't push a pin in it but it didn't crack either, just sort of slid off of it. Maybe the point was too thick since it was a large needle.

yeah, maybe sharper pin. Can you email me the full resolution image of this one? I'd like to pixel peep at the "gold"... one single piece looks cubic (pyrite) but I can't be sure at this resolution.

That's a beauty Donnie! Seriously that's one of the finest pieces of mariposite I've ever seen - should make some dandy cabs.
