Norm 16 Report post Posted December 29, 2015 Shep, did you do a specific gravity test on it? It felt like it had a lot more than I could see. Norm Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Furness 26 Report post Posted December 29, 2015 Shep ... Great find ... congrats! I saw that Steve posted a couple of pics on FB ... the finished 'Cab' he posted is absolutely gorgeous (not a word I usually use but in this case ....) and will make beautiful one of a kind pendant or broach. The Shep magic continues and lives on through the majesty of ElDorado's artistry crafting rocks into jewelry! Mike F Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Norm 16 Report post Posted December 30, 2015 Shep's rock has some very white quartz. Steve will make it into something that will be a one of a kind beauty. A very nice find! Specific gravity tests are sometimes very misleading. The one in the picture was done by three different people and all came up with the same calculation, A minus amount of gold!
