A quiet afternoon, clearing up and sorting the ore and pebbles and limestone.
Fascinating how this iron ore looks like.
The flat part is probably where it was hanging on to a piece of limestone.
This is a piece of limestone that must have been submerged in a heavily mineralised liquor. Bit by bit the minerals crystallised on the limestone. Various metal oxides and other „gunk“. I don’t think it had a low pH
This is a treat for you who have followed on so far. A few months ago I built a tiny kiln and fired some ore.
Well, look at that.
The metal alloy withstands 12% HCl 🙈😊
A final detailed photo, sorry about the quality.
It really does have „that“ shine..
One more 😅
I think this piece of ore is from the same spot.
A lot of ocker and clay and some iron oxides it it next to the mineral I yet have to identify.
@Lapilli_55 👋🏼 do you have an idea?
