Hey all, new here and don't have a very good knowledge of rocks but have always enjoyed collecting them. We are just south of Phoenix AZ and I ran across some rocks I've never seen before. It is mixed in with the quartz veins and some in granite. Can anyone identify them for me? Thanks! 25566.webp25570.webp25573.webp25574.webp25568.webp
 

I will take a shot in the dark - green schist?

I'm gonna go with epidote on matrix, nice find!
First pic is an image I found of an epidote on matrix mineral specimen online, the other two pictures is some I found about 15 miles outside of the town Wickenburg.

Thanks for the replies! There was quite a bit of it there I took what I could carry in my pockets, lol. There were some really neat quartz specimens there as well. I'll post some pics later when I can get to it.
