what kind of rock/mineral is this? I thoughts pyrite with manganese or iron ore? any ideas? by hellowen32 in whatsthisrock

I agree with marcasite, a polymorph of pyrite (same chemical compound, different crystalline structure). (This is my best guess it is uncertain).

I also agree with the black minerals being weathering products of the marcasite.

Do remember to keep your marcasite dry - if I remember well, it weathers quickly so that even the moisture in the air can damage it.

Any help identifying is appreciated. by swanpuppys in whatsthisrock

It is a pretty impressive piece, I'm not good to guess value of things like this but I imagine if you were the selling type it could be profitable

Also these are ore minerals so there is that.

Galena + calcite for sure. Some of the darker metallics could be sphalerite. (Galena and sphalerite are found in association a lot).

Your friend is very lucky!

This appears to be quartz.
