Brecciated pyrite healed with jasper:

More stuff I found transferring rocks and other stuff fro a storage unit back to the garage. This stuff is too friggin' cool. By the looks of the pieces, it seems that milky quartz with a vein of massive pyrite was the original material. After it fractured, it was healed by jasper. I have another small slablet that I plan to cab soon. If the pyrite undercuts, I won't be too surprised.

Looks much like the Chalcopyrite in Apache Gold, but your piece is much more interesting than plain old Apache Gold!

One thing about posting the photo at flickr to this site as you did, it gives us access to every photo you have on flickr. Just thought I would let you know. Pretty pictures of feet by the way.

If I didn't want people to see them, Flickr would be a bad place to put them, I'm guessing. And thanks.
