  • Collecting malachite, pyrite and breccia at an old copper mine and then cutting a few to see what they look like inside. Outstanding spot!

    WOW!!!! Those were some great finds! As soon as I saw that giant jasper I was hooked to see what else you would find (the greens were just phenomenal). Daisy is looking well and she is definitely happy when out exploring with you. I had a good chuckle at your comment of "I only have a backpack so I have to be a little more choosey as to what I take home" to be followed by "that's coming home with me, that's coming with me, that's coming with me" lol! The ones that you cut with the copper running throughout were stunning and I can't wait see the cabochons that you make from them! Thank you for another great video! One day, I hope to bump into you and Daisy while out rockhounding and maybe learn a trick or a tip (this rookie is always eager to learn). Have a great weekend Greig!

    I just rewatched the slicing on the breccia am I seeing iron mineral staining.
    If so I would powder up a slice so that 80% goes through a 30 mesh screen and pan it for free gold. I was camping with the family and found a breccia rock with a similar look. Broken a chunk off ground it up panned it out. It had some really nice gold in it and now the rest of the rock sits in the front yard garden and sprinkled all around the plants is gold bearing mineral specimens.

    Dear friend. very good. I have this type of oxidized copper in the mine and it has very good gold in the iron and copper rock test. Especially green copper oxide. At the same time, pyrites with copper also contain gold. To extract gold, use the above demti cleaning. I extracted two grams of gold from malachites with silica in one kilogram. Good luck.

    It was interesting which stones were contrasting and others were just grey
    Your rocks look similar to some of mine found in BC near cache creek mile 16 n was at a spot called Scottie creek
    There was also serpentine , asbestos and muscovite as well as amythyst and smoky quartz bands
    The green was brecciated with cream, and mauve colours. Very similar
    Your video is the first I’ve seen that was similar
