[QUOTE="jethro, post: 517221, member: 1297"] The super sparkly silver something is most probably Arsenopyrite, a sulphide of arsenic and iron. If you can isolate a nice crystal of it and strike it or heat it the fume will smell like garlic. Just dont concentrate the fumes and inhale deeply. Arsenopyrite is a common mineral found in gold ore deposits. [/QUOTE]
