This is a rock I found in a mine? pit near Tonopah, Nv a few years back. I tried to sand/polish one area of it. Any help on id is
appreciated. (sorry about the quality of pic)
Meteor - that's what a friend suggested (turquoise), guess I should take it to an expert. It does have a an appealing surface shine, but I thought turquoise
was more bluish?

I missed this sorry, the Wiki page says: "The blue is attributed to idiochromatic copper while the green may be the result of either iron impurities (replacing aluminium) or dehydration."
