Hello everyone!
I am Rachel I live in Yosemite Ca. I am very interestedin all of the stuff you guys talk about. I use to live irversion ca where there is a plac called the jurupa mountains discovery center. I use to go quite often. They have a place oucan go and dig up rocks and buy them for 2 dollars a pound ...at least they did about 10 years ago anyway I found this rock very very very heavy for its size its aboute size of my hand and it weighs 4 pounds 5 oz . There's nothing pretty about it its just very heavy and not magnetic
It's dark gray and it has very white shiny lookin metal in side so I took it to a gu hat has a scanning gun and it said 60 to 80 percent iridium.....I know I know it's not possible! Right? Or is it?

Welcome to us.
You are right not possible.
XRFs are notoriously untrustworthy with regarding to Rocks.

Here are a link for Ores:

We now have a section for Rock images so I will move this thread there.
