Hey @iexplore.... I'm thinking you're the person behind the rock shop over at IFC? If so, any idea what this rock might be?

Cool! Looks like Malachite...Ironically my son just broke my tumbled malachite the other day by accident..:(
Here's what I've had suggested so far that might be it: may be calcite on conichalcite from Ojuela mine, Mapimi,Mexico, matrix-limonite. Rosasite. Brochantite. And Urananite. It looks so different from the other malachite I have. Hmmm
Hmm...I've sent the picture to my rock shop friend. They will get back to me in the morning. I will let you know what they think.
Cool!! Tyty!! Cause I need to know what it is before I make Jewelry with it. 😕😊
Here's the response I got:
Hello,
I showed them to Jim and he's not 100% on what it is.
From the photos he said it might be Malachite with Calcite over top but he's not sure.
Are you close by? If you could bring it in to the shop he could take a look at it with the loop and possibly tell you for sure.
Have a good night.
I'm guessing you are not close by...hehe. If you have a local shop to take it to they probably can help. FYI this guy has been running his shop for over 50 years...They are family owned and run, great people! :) Sorry I couldn't help more! If you do find out what it is, please let me know, I'm curious!
I got it at one of my two local rock shops lol. They are both new at the whole rock thing, and we're clueless! Lol. There is a small rock show coming up tho and I'm gonna ask there! 😉
