By holding it. If it is real hot you won't be able to hold it but if it's not to hot you will be able to hold for a while.     El |

rocks... look at colors. if more orange then more likely iron, if more green, more likely copper, if have some black in it, then carbon, etc.. look up rock types on google. |
