[QUOTE="LONEWOLF, post: 342534, member: 6309"] Try here... a good start. You can Google the Names also but, use 'In Australia' in your search.. I think this is in the Gemstones and Minerals Section... I have some 'Bad' ones here but I can't give you pics.... Haven't got a good camera... I will see about borrowing one... :Y ..... And Yes Most are associated with Gold in one way or another and Some are too costly to extract the Gold out of it for you and me to do at home (Arsenopyrite is one)... Watch out for a White, yellow or greenish Powder on Rocks... That's more than likely Arsenic.... And it Smells like Garlic or an Acid smell too... I wash my hands after Handling any rocks... :/ [url]https://www.australianmining.com.au/features/top-ten-deadly-rocks-and-minerals/[/url] LW... [/QUOTE]
