THE MAIN PREMISE -

[Wangotango67]

As per last post,
the main take away is ths excerpt,

" However photoelectron spectroscopy, magnetic, and electrical properties all indicate the absence of Cu²⁺ (d⁹) ions. "

As one can read, covellite copper israre and can be very hard to detect.
Now ask, do labs use the above mentioned methods ?
Hello.
If lab technolgies are geared to specific ion charge or pattern detection,
and the absence of Cu2 is absent, then... ?

Remind oneslef the " mystery grey metal " the petrographer could not identify.
Remind oneself how copper oxidizes into various colors.
Remind oneself how nitric + hydrochloric acids were used when sulphuric 
should have bene used.

Covallite - grey copper - does - convert to blue + purple.
Remind oneself of the sample rocks - pages 199 - 205 - Aris tech report.
Those pics do show blue and purple saturation.

I would say, there " could"  be a high odds of, covallite presence which would
certainly explain the heavy presence of blue and purple - mineralization.
Won't know if one doesn't do a second assay - right ?
 
Happy with my research,
sorry to bore others with this subject, but...
I felt it had merit.

Covallite is a supergene mineral - a secondary sulphide which origins still
come from an iron base copper.

Which is all the more reason ( as mentioned in pror posts ) to know the
iron and sulphur values to better understand the relationship of these two important ( catalyst minerals ) and the effects it has on copper.


I'll shut up now...lol
Yeah... i like minerology and sifting through data to see if anything was missed in plight of helping out a junior.


Cheers...
