d_day 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMc 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fuss 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4meter 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 comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
