Have you tried to scrape some of the veins to see if they flake off at all? Or done a streak test? Those are about the easiest non destructive test you can do on it to get an idea as to what might be in it. From what I can see it kind of looks like the copper ore we have around here. Last resort would be to pop it open with a hammer.

It's not turquoise and I don't see any signs of copper minerals being present.

Looks like what they call Leverite. ;)
