d_day 359 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 Hard to tell from photos alone, but I’m going to guess it’s jasper. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BMc 1,048 Posted September 6, 2019 Share Posted September 6, 2019 It resembles some photographs of WA state Nephrite jade which is found in various colors of blue/green . . . 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fuss 41 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 It is an attractive rock, colors are great. Could certainly be either Nephrite or Jasper though I would lean towards Nephrite based on the photos. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
4meter 201 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 I would not rule out green Microcline as a possibility. The last photo shows nice "twinning" of minerals, a major characteristic of microcline. There also appears to be some cleavage showing in the other photos. This is a very attractive mineral. Nice find! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
