[QUOTE="Powerhammer, post: 429323, member: 13181"] [i]Hello All I've been trying to find out more about the thread like formation in attached microscope view which is 2 Sqmm. The rock comes from SE Queensland from a fault system. Some threads look like copper but the second type is whitish yellow "fibre like" made of thinner stands. Its not organic as I have broken the rock in multiple cleavages and it is present throughout the rock. Is there a term to describe this formation as I havent been able to find out anything on the web. Any idea on what mineral it could be? Does copper present this way? I have found a sample of Cuprite in the area as well[/i] [i][img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/13181/1533026421_img_6273.jpg[/img][/i] [i][img]https://www.prospectingaustralia.com/forum/img/member-images/13181/1533026422_img_6288.jpg[/img][/i] [/QUOTE]
