This was all from one rock that Sherri (the Hobbit Hut) gave me. Looks similar to Sonoran Sunrise but other stuff with it. Any Ideas? This was the best of the bunch, has the fewest soft spots, especially with the red. The lighter right along the edge for the first 3/8's is also hard.

its chrysocolla and cuprite........ heres a piece of sonoran, not a great piece but you can see the difference. the lighter part is matrix on yours. That probably won't polish. The red is somewhat harder to get a polish also. On the sonoran, it is for sure.

Vey pretty. It does look like a chrysacola secondary stone. Really nice patterns in it! Fran
