[QUOTE="Village, post: 53378, member: 1900"] Based on the photos what you I think have is a sedimentary rock comprising predominately or by composition the largest percentages of a iron rich calcite and dolamite structure which included in the intrusion, amongst a whole host of other minerals contains Alizarin Red and Potassium Ferricyanide, so please no body go licking these suckers on a continued basis, The alizarin red when weathered with the Fe3(Iron)content provides the red staining, with the Potassium Ferricyanide will provide the blue staining. Whilst manganese is the 11th or 12th most abundant mineral in the earths crust, it does little to assist or be a catalyst in metamorphic sedimentary deposits. Fe3 is obviously abundant whether as a a specific intrusive vein or a mineral dissemminated component. Are there links to gold bearing deposits, urban legends, wives tales but little in documented research. But alas saying that as prospector, your overlooking the most valuable photo, the highly formed conglomerate in photo 2, however this leads to the question of changing stream beds the and if the stream does or did produce, then I would be getting a post hole borer or a pair of spoons, and digging test holes at 45 deg to the azimuth of bearing of the upstream course. I hope it assists, enjoy and I hope you get wealthy. John [/QUOTE]
