Yep, tons of what I assume is pyrite. The end cut, one slab and the larger piece all have lots so thinking it's all the way through. Haven't seen anything like it

MI is filled with ore. You might have found something better than pyrite.

True, it would be shiny bright gold if gold? It looks dull gold like other pyrite specimens I have bought.

Rub you thumb across it and smell. Pyrite and silver smell different.

Michigan material is done of the best out there.
	Let's get this straight. I love rocks, LOVE THEM. There's a rock on my toilet, near the sink, near the fridge, on my windowsill, on my nightstand, on my desk, on top of my broken PC, next to me right now, and sometimes.... I wake up to a nice Lake Superior agate next to my pillow.

I tried a diluted nitric acid on it and it did nothing... next is trying straight stuff I guess.. Straight acid also does nothing.. gold ?
