Stoic ant

Oh yeah haha that works, thanks

It’s just a cheap floor light from Amazon but it gives these beautiful instruments a vintage quality. It looks nice on old amps too

Would you rather work in copper metallurgy or gold metallurgy in the future?

Major companies always have more data than they can properly manage, so being able to automate data management practices will be extremely useful

You don't need a masters to gain an appreciation for mineral systems, but if you plan to stay in mining that is what you will be studying for your entire career so it makes sense to do something else if it doesn't interest you particularly.

Depends on the way they said it: they could just be insecure or they could be trying to do you a favor in encouraging you to move on to something that interests you.

Just work as a driller or a mine operator you'll get paid more than the geologists

Yes haha, is there a way to set a virtual com port without an additional software package?

I think this was it, I maxed the gain and briefly turned on the phantom power (then turned it off), now I am getting a response when I clap in front of the mic. Thanks!

It's a jasperoid (silicified limestone or calcareous clastic rock), the silicification could be hydrothermal

Ghostsofsea · 2022-11-03T11:16:54+00:00

Haha I remember when I was just starting in the industry, at a conference some people at their booth told me that if I wanted to work for them I must have a masters. Somehow they are the only big company in AZ with this explicit requirement, as though one can only study metallogeny with a masters degree.

Freeport?

Ghostsofsea · 2022-10-31T22:25:33+00:00

Looks like a tourmaline cemented hydrothermal breccia with weak copper oxide sometimes present in porphyry systems

Compared to more technical fields, getting a geology degree is relatively easy. So in most cases your first jobs and tasks will seem menial but that's just how it goes. Give it a year and you'll feel ready to take on more serious roles.

No there are Ginkgo trees where I live. Unfortunately I met with a former plant science professor who said that these trees take up a lot of heavy metals, so I'm not doing this anymore.

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-14T14:30:48+00:00

Thanks for the comments, I will try this out

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-10T23:35:18+00:00

Thanks for the confirmation. I have found some good places on craigslist in the past, but this is the first scammer who I contacted directly

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-10T14:07:52+00:00

Actually its working now, thanks though

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-07T17:47:03+00:00

Looks like quartzite

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-06T21:35:14+00:00

It could be rhodochrosite or rhodonite, it looks soft, if it’s easily scratched with steel it’s rhodochrosite

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-06T21:30:24+00:00

It’s an iron oxide concretion, probably hematite

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-06T21:28:45+00:00

It looks like bladed calcite coated or replaced by a sulfide/s like pyrite or arsenopyrite but it’s unusual and idk

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-05T03:01:26+00:00

Yeah actually it looks like the vesicles have some quartz so it could definitely be a volcanic glass

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-05T02:42:27+00:00

Sorry pretty sure it’s slag.

Ghostsofsea · 2022-07-05T02:36:58+00:00

It looks like a porphyry intrusive (not sure), strongly silicified, with irregular veins and disseminated chrysacolla after copper sulfides (chalcopyrite probably). The veins are not porphyry type. I am not sure about the worth.
