***edit*** like a moron, I deleted some photos from photobucket and tagged several that I had in this post..I will try and get some better photos up later today... I posted a photo of this before and had a tentative ID of chrysocolla cuprite. I saw a few photos that sort of looked like it could be, so I went with it. BUT..I think it might be gem silica in copper. I really wish I had photographed the slab now. I am posting several photos of the two cabs I made to see if someone can help me nail the ID. If the pricing I see on etsy/ebay are correct there is a world of difference in values between the two materials. The closest examples I have found are labeled "Old Dominion Mine Gem Silica in Native Copper". This link is to the example I saw: www.etsy.com/listing/183541641/gem-silica-rare-native-copper?ref=shop_home_active_5Not sure if his pricing is realistic - but I still new enough to need to ask lol I have had trouble photographing this, the dark areas are very reflective. I may need to take a few outdoors. Any help is greatly appreciated! Roger
