I have been picking a small amount of this material from a spot in MT for years. I cut a chunk today and when I broke the last inch loose from the block, it reminded me of marble on the fresh break. Could it be?

It looks like marble. Am I wrong?

Does it fizz when you apply an acid?

Does it fizz when you apply an acid? Violent reaction like rarely seen.
