I found it on a beach in Staten Island.

I figured it was chrysocolla or malachite. I recently tumble a pound of malachite. Those minerals clean up well, but they are soft to tumble and you have to be careful.

Lol.
Well first of all I didn't know what it was and was asking because I wanted to sell it.
& second of all there's a best offer option because I don't know how much it's worth.
But thanks for the rudeness & negativity!

If you had read the rules you would not have gotten negative responses. Lots of knowledge here to be shared.

I don't see the Negative responses.... Thankfully.

Nice Rock :thumbsup: good luck with your sale too

I think you ought to post it on the Rocks and Gems forum here on T-Net. To my amateur eye, it looks like slag glass. I think you need another opinion on two before jumping.

if it is slag that should be pretty easy to discern....
