What is this ?!?!?!?!

Hey guys, found a significant amount of whatever this is. This is a 5 pound rock, but have several more. Does anyone have an idea of what it is? 15631286731861945635367669564835.jpg 15631285633059176712299581435285.jpg

Thank you for the reply, no a knife cant scratch it and is very heavy for the size it seems.

Its the same rock flipped over for the second picture. The odd thing is , found in british columbia, close to the coast. Neither of those are found in BC . It does look like the green adventurine but that wouldnt make sense because of location.

Just because no one has guessed yet doesn't mean it's rare. It's just hard to guess of a picture.

Could be a light green nephrite.

I think you nailed it clay because found naturally about 10 feet above sea level on bowen island dug out of the ground. Adventurine and Green quartz dont make sense because of that. And no jade professional (Even talked to the guys up north with the mine) thinks its nephrite.
