Rocks?

[rickertmork]

I think this glows under a black light, any one know what it is?

Don’t smoke Rocks

What colour does it glow?

The most common mineral that can be green and have a botryoidal habit would be Willemite. It glows a bright green under UV.

Botryoidal Malachite can also have the appearance of your specimen but doesn't glow under UV.

The second rock looks like Azurite and Malachite.

Not sure what that silverfish wants with the first rock though...

Neither Azurite nor Malachite typically glow under UV light. Azurite might glow blue if particular impurities are present.

I took the first rock to be the other side of the second rock (?) largely showing an indeterminate matrix.

Im still looking for the silverfish!

The silverfish(bug) is there, just about center just left of the green spot, double click it to enlarge the photo and it easy to see.

Lmfao I see the silverfish!

I also need to work on my grammar

I also need to work on my grammar

And perhaps use a nit comb ?

I’ll sell you mine. $50 plus $12 shipping. Has 6 rechargeable batteries. I hunted around here for glow rocks but didn’t find any. I don’t think we have any. Not much use for this light.

Unless I'm reading incorrectly, he said he thinks it glows.
Then he says he needs to find a black light.
From that- it sounds like he has not put a black light on it...yet.

@rickertmork Are these pictures of both sides of the same rock?
Have you used a black light on it?
If you have please post pics of the glowing.

Yes, I noted that on the other thread. He hadn't put a UV light on it, but has now. It doesn't glow, so I think it's probably Botryoidal Malachite.

 

[searcher]

It's almost definitely Malachite.

I nailed it !

Wiki has comment : 'Oolitic refers to small, spherical grains called ooids that are typically formed from calcium carbonate in warm, shallow waters, while boytoidal is not a recognized term in geology or mineralogy. The correct term might be "pisolitic," which describes larger, rounded grains that are often found in sedimentary rocks.'

Botryoidal - Wikipedia

A botryoidal (/ˌbɒtriˈɔɪdəl/ BOT-ree-OY-dəl) texture or mineral habit, is one in which the mineral has an external form composed of many rounded segments, named for the Ancient Greek βότρυς (bótrus), meaning "a bunch of grapes".<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Botryoidal#cite_note-1"><span>[</span>1<span>]</span></a> This is a common form for many minerals, particularly hematite and malachite, which are known for frequently forming botryoidal masses.

Wow! Expert level stuff guys
