$10-30 CAD

Paid on delivery
We are a small business selling rocks and minerals that we collect during our rockhounding trips. We need help identifying the names of the rocks and minerals we find. We will send you the geological location and pictures and videos, as well as other tests if needed. For example, the first project would involve identifying a batch of rocks and minerals found in Gatineau, Quebec, Canada (See attached video). We would prefer to hire one competent person on repeat to perform batch identifications. This person would have a degree in geology or the earth sciences and relevant field work experience. We look forward to meeting you!

Identifying the names of the rocks and minerals can be one of the most exciting jobs. I have deep knowledge about rocks and minerals as I previously worked on this to build an app that recognizes different rocks and minerals.

I am a Masters degree holder in Geophysics with a solid geology/petrography background (Basic understanding of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary/intrusive and extrusive) and an understanding of mineral groups and their constituent minerals. Since I won't be able to have access to test the hardness of your rock samples using Mohs scale or carry out HCI reactivity test. The only thing I would depend on will be what I see physically just like you provided in the video. To identify some of the things i saw in the video: What you have behind rock sample 1 looks more like a quartzite Sample 10 is a granitic gneiss, I can see the mineral band (a met rock) Sample 1 is a Gneiss Sample 8 is an Orthoclase Sample 7 is a Hornblende with a visible irregular cooling effect

I have a geology degree and good mineralogy/ petrographical skills. I have taken part in many geological mapping exercises through out my career as a geologist. My career as a well- logger and exploration hydro-geologist on part-time basis has sharpened my skills in lithology identification both of igneous, metamorphic and sedimentary genesis. My several years of side hustle as both dealer and middle-man in the gemstone trade in Africa coupled with deep research has transformed me into a reliable gemologist in my encounters. In fact did a mineralogy degree thesis using first hand metasomatite sample data dubbed : 'Genesis of Gem Corundum in Nakrogon; Alale; West Pokot- Kenya'.Though not yet published but I have a copy.
