I found some very similar material not far from Reno. I was able to cut it into a few cabs. Took an okay polish.
I have not checked out the copper mines near Reno yet. There is one near Pyramid Lake I read about years ago and wanted to go look for specimens. Cannot recall the name of the mine.
Used to spend a lot of time at the mines in Virginia City down in 6 mile Canyon. Went back recently after not being up there in over 25 years and it has changed so much. The road is paved now, the trees matured and I cannot find my favorite mine anymore that I collected silver clay from.
Found some small specks of what looked like turquoise in the rocks atop Slide Mountain when I was a little kid. Spent my summers in Reno on the Callahan Ranch so spent a lot of time hiking the mountains around there. The area used to be considered the Mineral Capital of the World in the old days when it was known as Ormbsy County, but I never found anything too exiting up there.
The best collecting is between Beatty and Fernley.
Just found some silicated copper ore near Coaldale Junction a few days ago coming back from Reno.
