Ore

[gfish]

It is annoyingly hard to find affordible sources of metal ores. Either it's being sold as display examples of a semi-precious mineral, or you're bidding on boxcar loads of the stuff. It's almost like no one is in interested in catering to the backyard smelting hobbyist.

Also, what does it say that there are more pages devoted to gathering/smelting ore in MMPORGs than doing it in real life?

I might be able to get you small amounts of silver lead carbonate (Leadville is lousy with it.) I've never had any luck getting the silver out, though. By small amounts, I mean mL quantities.
Any thoughts on going to Arizona and looking around in the turquoise-rich areas? They certainly have copper-bearing rock.
