120 lb specimen There is little pits or caves all over the rock that appears to be oily looking clear sparkly crystal like stones growing in them. But is bluish green translucent veins. The rock is very translucent when a flashlight is held to it.

Kinda looks similar to the stuff I pulled out of herkimer diamond mine but the crystals were clear

See my answer on your other thread regarding this rock.

Happy day! The wife brought me a large Dutch Bros 911!

Herkimer diamond? Crazy! I could swear it looks like diamonds. But I'm not sure what Herkimer means. I'm pretty new to the rockhound thing. It seems like there's a bunch of different stuff on this rock different colors all throughout. These pics don't do much justice. Do you know how much it would be worth of it was Herkimer diamond? And what is the difference between Herkimer and diamond?

It is not a herkimer diamond, which is really just a very pure quartz thats only found in herkimer ny. I was just commenting that it has a similar look with the crystals in a void, your could be some quartz or other crystals.
