Translucent Green Rocks

[Gypsy Heart]

Can someone help me with these. Found today in Northern Wisconsin along a riverbank. Some were on top and others I dug up They range from milky green to translucent green. I am holding one up to the kitchen light to show how you can see through some of them. Any idea?

Green calcite is a grounding and centering stone that brings stability. It increases success, prosperity, business, and fertility of all kinds. It is an excellent stone for gardening. It is also considered a stone of manifestation because of it's ability to develop increase in all areas.

Green calcite is said to enhance intuition and psychic abilities.

It is also used to balance and heal the endocrine system. Green calcite is also helpful for overcoming addictions and compulsive disorders.

Whatever happened with the green stone Gypsy?

If you've got a TON of it... I'd like to swap you a bit of our indigenous stones from here in this part of CA.

...and I don't mean to say I've got anything valuable...
and I wasn't interested in a bunch...

Thanks,
rmptr

I have about ten of those sitting on my stereo. Green calcite. I also have blue and pink. Makes a nice display. As far as the bubbles go, calcite often does contain bubbles from escaping gases.
Great find.

It looks like prehnite to me. The color and location are right, and the bubbles aren't that unusual. Prehnite is found in almost all the copper mines in Upper Michigan. It is usually in covered with calcite and has copper nodules or specs in it. The glaciers scattered this stuff quite a ways, but the river may actually cut through some native stuff since you were probably on the edge of copper country. Because of the way it formed, you can get bubbles from other minerals creating voids as they disintegrated. The stuff makes some really nice jewelry, I have collected quite a bit of it up in the north woods.

I still dont know what these are...but...I gave some to Birdie and he is taking them to the university....I will be happy to send some to the people who asked but will have to wait until I can dig some out of the river bank after its done freezing...there were alot there so I will get more....

Gypsy I would love to have a sample of that rock, if you had a xtra. I'll send ya back a sample of something I have found Thanks Extractor

It could be a tektite - but there usually a darker green .
I found one once when visiting my sister in Maryland while
detecting in her yard.
Was in the hole with a penny .
If it seems like glass it could be a tektite.

Gypsy, if you don't get inundated with requests for that rock, I'd like a piece of rock also...could trade a dino tooth for it...

 

[Cappy Z.]

Did she ever find out with certainty what type of rock were in the pictures?

 

[cheese]

I thought aventurine until I saw the last set of pics with bubbles. It's slag.
