What is this rock?

[CharlesFulker]

I have this rock. But what I don’t have is an idea of what it is.

It looks almost as if t is turquoise, and given that it is from Arizona I Beleive that there is a chance that it is.

There look to be other minerals interlaced into what I think is turquoise.

It would really rock if you guys can help me out!

green rock

looks like mabey brochantite,or chryscolla?

Looks like it came from an old mine. Probably came from underground. Chrysocolla is commonly found around the mines around here, and I live near Tucson.

I'd study up a bit on a gemstone called Variscite.
It is a semi rare gemstone that can be found scattered throughout Arizona.
Better grades can be valuable.

I've worked with quite a lot of variscite and yours sure has the color.
It is often lumped in with turquoise, but is a gemstone in its own.

Check it out and see what you think.

Thank you. This site is really a hidden treasure. I’m really glad I detected this site on the internet. It seems kinda old but I wouldn’t consider it a relic. But still, this place rocks.
