Iron pyrites wanted!

[Clouston98]

As the title states, I'm after some iron pyrites that can be used in a more ancient flint and steel firelighting.

I'm not after much just five or so walnut sized chunks .

Don't have any idea of value but I'm guessing it can't be big?

Anyway I have stuff to trade in a list in my other thread .

Please help me, I'd like them for before Christmas!

Thanks for looking!

Just beware Cam - you need the dull rusty looking nodules - not the "fools gold" crystals - ask me how I know

No guarantee, but if I get a chance to go up our local woodland paths I will look for Sum.

And we'll just wait for a woman to pipe up with 'women just don't make mistakes'! You can't always rely on them to tell the truth though so don't be fooled, Gold or no Gold!

Marcasite, iron pyrites work best. I wish I was speaking from experience, but sadly I'm yet to get hold of any.
If anyone has any for sale, I'd happily pay.
Cameron, as soon as I get some, I'll send you some mate. If anyone knows a source/seller please pm me.
All the best
Kal.

We have it here in this part of Wales we will get you some the next time we are out and about.

Thanks a lot mate, just had some sent out by kimboko, but he isn't sure if they're marcasite, so it would be appreciated if you would mate, would you want anything for them?

Cameron, would you mind if I pay, we can get the seller to split and post ? Hope you don't think I'm stepping on your toes.

Biggest chunk is reasonably solid.

Not shore if this will be suitable as is reasonably flaky?

There may be better stuff farther up but did not have the time to explore.
