Iron pyrites wanted!

[ammo]

Good find mate. Have you struck it with flint yet ?, does it produce a spark. If it does, pm me please, let me know what you want for it (if you have some available). Well spotted.

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.

The bit I tried with was like a nodule of rusty iron to look at - not as "grainy" as that looks. Doesn't mean that won't work though - only a try will sort that out

It does need to be struck to strike small bits off and the friction must ignite it - so too soft certainly wont work.

Good stuff, I'm interested too, looks like marcasite too me?

Will need to find my flint 'n' steel set first.

Aye I'm thinking it's to soft but will try it, and might have a better look with more daylight over the weekend if I can.

Certainly .

Shambling shaman, that's very kind of you .

I can definately get a spark with the stuff I sent you. The sparks are best seen out of sunlight. But I don't know the name of the particular polymorph. Descriptions I have read would suggest it is marcasite.

Cheers nick, I guess I'm trying to accumulate some different sorts to see what works for me because there's none around here.

thanks again mate .

 

[woodstock]

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?

Couple hundred quid a piece. No nothing at all, I'll make sure its iron pyrite before I send it.

Suprised to find my set right where it should be. Any way the flint just takes chunks out of the stone as it is kind of soft 'n' flaky.

sorry guys

 

[British Red]

Nothing to be sorry about Rob! You found some and tested it...thats very good of you

 

[ammo]

No problem mate. Thank you very much, for even takeing the time to try. Appreciated.
