Silver or Graphite??
"silver will tarish black. pure or otherwise. if you can make a mark on a white pc of paper it is likely graphite. it looks like some that i have but from the bancroft area."

robert james prettie said… - Hello Brian well you are the second person who has said that they have not heard of carnelian garnets before so I am beggining to beleive that the information that I got at the rock show is incorrect. I am not a geologist so I am not sure it is what it is but I will have it re-identified and post it.
