Not an artifact

[SurfaceHunter]

So when I was in the creek I found this quartz rock. I saved it cause it had the green rock attached to it. What is the green rock if anyone knows? Its something I've never found before so I was wondering if anyone knew what it is. NW Georgia, thanks

I think I should of put this in the rock forum but wasn't sure. Any help would be good

I have no clue either, bet it looks cool wet.

Maybe some copper in the material ?

[SurfaceHunter]

I was thinking possible raw copper jj it feels heavy. I was thinking about smashing it with a hammer and look. I was hoping gold but its green.

[Lindenmeier-Man]

IDK, is it magnetic ?

[Lindenmeier-Man]

Anyway ,I bring home any stones that are not natural...

I didn't even think of checking but I will. There is lots of black sand in quartz creek.

Cool but no idea.....it would be a good one for St.Paddys day green finds!!!

[SurfaceHunter]

Thanks Red I'm always looking for something different when I hunt creeks. I need to swing the metal detector out there this winter after all the grass dies off.

Is it Greenstone that's found in Georgia? From around Dahlonega?

[SurfaceHunter]

No don't think so its attached to the quartz. I'm going to soak it in vinegar to see what's under the green which should dissolve away to be sure nothing is under the green rock. It just looks different from any other quartz I've found.

Hi Surface.- Quartz forms with many kinds of stratified rock matrix. What you have is the interface of the two different stratifications. They are just still connected. The greenish side isn't a copperlite. I can't say just what kind of stone it is. I believe it just has a greenish tint. Kim

The green is another type of rock has a different feel to it kind of grainy
