🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Chrysocolla or the Moon? Ukraine

[Naukoveckiy]

Oh, hello to the people of this forum thread)... I thought maybe this would be easier. I thought maybe it was extraterrestrial, and for example shock veins of olivine. But there was also an opinion that it was Chrysocolla.

It doesn't look like a copper mineral.

It looks like Nickel stained quartz. Pretty common in Kirovohrad and Dnipropetrovsk. There are several major Nickel deposits in Ukraine.

What color was the soil where you found this?

hello, thanks for the answer)))...that’s the interesting thing that such stones were found in the washed-up sands from the Dnieper River. And in these sands these stones and teeth of sharks and mammoths, etc. were found.

What a coincidence. I have a picture of Chrysocolla I named the same thing.

So many stories of the earth's history can be found along the banks of the planets rivers. I've found fossils, petrified wood, lead bullets and one time in the mountains of Colorado I came across 14" long 8" wide piece of aluminum which was the tip of airplane prop. That in itself had a story to tell left along the river. It probably washed down from higher up.

and if we also take into account that there are 5 famous ancient astroblemes around me))) then there must be many and very interesting finds)))

In general, I am now studying other stones that have green lakes, etc.. almost like this stone.. and I came to the conclusion that those stones are very similar to basalt lava, namely Soltan Maidan basaltic rock. So maybe this stone somehow relates to basalt?..
