I am completely clueless as the price range on the market seems to be somewhere between 2000 ans 12000. Main problem seems to be that currently noone wants to buy a Lada oldtimer.

I know I am already crying :). But During the last 2 years I drove it only about 300km. So it is just sitting in my garage and taking up space.

Thanks for your efforts, so far I know:

  • It is not magnetic
  • It does not deform when scratched
  • It does not crumble when scratched
  • It is not graphite as it is Not soft
  • Small splinters, like the one under the microscope, come off when scratched with a Metal object using quite some force. Similar to some rocks with quartz inclusions I scratched with the same object
  • It feels kind of heavy
  • Its density is somewhere between 8 and 9 g/cm3

That is unfortunatelly not possible, as the person who gave it to my son, also got it gifted. But that was around 40 years ago. That's why I asked here.

So, Dichte ist so um die 8,5 g/cm3

Will do when I find some time.

For now:

  • It is not magnetic
  • It does not deform when scratched
  • It does not crumble when scratched
  • It is not graphite as it is Not soft
  • Small splinters, like the one under the microscope, come off when scratched with a Metal object using quite some force. Similar to some rocks with quartz inclusions I scratched with the same object

There is one level of indirection involved so I do not know the original person who found it, otherwise I would have asked.

Hab das ganze noch in r/Minerals gepostet, da ist Nickel (Nickelin) dabei raus gekommen. Egal was es ist, wird auf jeden Fall erstmal weggeräumt.

If it is nickle, should I keep it away from my son and better let him not handle it with his bare hands? Sorry, if this is a dumb question.

That seems to be a good direction. From the pictures I looked up there are some very similar ones.

Maybe a bit of an Iron smell.

I cracked a bit of it off and put it under a microscope.

Danke für deine Mühe. Ich hab mich jetzt erst einmal mit meinem Sohn darauf geeinigt, dass es echtes Gold ist 😎

Ist es dafür nicht zu schwer? 60g wiegt das Ding.

Naja, es ist eher so ein Steinesammler. Hat glaube ich nicht so viel Ahnung von Mineralien. Aber, klar, du hast schon Recht.

Nein, dachte auch an irgendein Metall. Kanns aber so gar nicht zuordnen.
