[QUOTE="XLOOX, post: 652523, member: 16174"] For your sake I really hope it is amalgam but I havent seen amalgam naturally form plates. Maybe it does. In the Au:Hg amalgam I have played with the crystals are microscopic & held together with free mercury. You could literally squeeze the mercury out by hand and have it run in a silver river between your (gloved) fingers and you were left with an amorphous dull grey semi squidgy squeaky heavy lump that still contained free mercury. fingers crossed [/QUOTE]
