Another rock from Goldbeach...I was told it's a form of Serpintine...Can you tell? It really is pretty. Those very shiney areas are really flashes of gold material. (hence the name Goldbeach?)

Looks like Serpentine, the green kind of flaky dark/light stuff is very typical, another quick test is hardness, serpentine should scratch with a steel blade.
It tends not to tumble very well due to is fiberous structure, but it usually carves and cabs up pretty nicely.

That is really pretty! Lots of color. The photo is a good size... maybe just a tad larger. Harry
