Greetings everyone
Will try to make this post as short as I can, hopefully finding an answer to a dilemma me and a friend have about a place with so many different types of rock . This area was known for silver and gold(silver with high gold content known in lat. Argetum de Glama) mines in history (many, almost completely covered, mines in vicinity of where I took the pics). What was interesting for me was this white “stuff” oozing from rocks. There was one with black and one with red color also (red colored mineral makes a stream a bit further completely red). Could these things indicate rare minerals? A bit higher is blue clay with some other very rusty looking material (which I panned and got some good amount of black sand)! Any explanation would help us give it a rest and forget about it or do something about it! Unfortunately we don’t have the place to send material for assaying nor find someone to help us identify the rocks/minerals (we really tried even by giving stones/ore to people claiming they can figure it out which they didn’t) and neither of us have any knowledge about rocks and ores. There is a book telling the amount of gold and silver produced every year from these places (in early XIV century) , but not even one explanation on what does the ore looks like nor how was it all treated. All this takes place in my friend’s property. I’ve compressed the pictures so they don’t take much space so could be a bit unclear if zoomed!! Any question i will be more than happy to answer!!
