Found on the ground

[Coach Stack]

We were out taking family pictures, I looked down and saw this on the ground. I'm not 100% sure but I believe it is a piece of Amazonite.

On the other hand my wife is pretty sure I found a piece of "nasty old gum" lol

very nice find....might also be a very low grade Turq...be interesting to find out which.

 

[Coach Stack]

I asked a friend and he didn't think it was Amazonite either, could be Turquoise ??

Kind of reminds me of melted green glass.

At first glance, it looked like a melted glass marble. Also looks like jade. Cool find.

 

[Paulito]

Cool. My mostly uneducated guess would be jade. Much more green than the turquoise that I've seen.

Looks like aventurine to me -- a healing stone. ~Lisa

Looks to be the same color as some smelter slag found around Pueblo, Colorado. This was a big precious metals smelter area until a big flood destroyed it all.

Put it in your mouth and see if it still has some gum flavor. Interesting for sure.

 

[Msbeepbeep]

Not gum for sure! Lol!

You are in the right location for a good find, better yet there are lots of knowledgeable people there that can give you a positive identification. Geological paradise.
