It's chalked out, my guess it's been there for well over 100 years, I didn't bring back a whole lot, it was over nine miles of hiking, just to get there in some of the roughest hills I have ever been in, I'd like to go back someday and spend about a week there. The mine it came out of was caved in.

Very pretty color. Chalked out...does that mean it is not that great to work because it is too soft? Is it a crysacola or an amazonite type of stone? Fran

Thanks All, Yes I found it in Arizona, it sat outside for many years and is soft and brittle, Chrysocola.
