Welcome to the forum, from Michigan. I am sure the members will be happy to help you ID your green rock finds. We love pictures, but you have to use a host server to post them. Looking forward to seeing you on the boards!

Greetings [red2015] firstly may i welcome you to RTH Forums, green rocks that are tranlucent are usually Chrysoprase a form of Chalcedony also Petrified palmwood. I have personally seen Chrysoprase rough here in Scotland that was fully translucent with a hint of apple green color, true facet grade material back in the 1970's. Please check out my Sticky's below. -- Please click images to open larger images in a new Tab, same with everything that is Underlined! I currently have a 3lb Beach (UK), Lortone QT 12/66 (USA) rotaries & 2x Viking Vibrasonic (Diamond Pacific) (USA) virbrating tumblers, with Silicon Carbide grit F80, F220, F600, F1200, with Tin Oxide (1.0 micron) & Aluminum Oxide (1.0 micron & 0.3 micron) polishes. I hail from (The Barony of Seabegs) Bonnybridge, Stirlingshire, U.K, where aliens (15mb) sometimes come for a visit & about 4 miles west from that monstrosity & 7 miles west of this new monstrosity! Sticky's: their contents are resource information 1#: Vendors worldwide (2mb), 2#: How to use the forum, 3#: How to identify rocks & minerals, 4#: Save money on expensive grits & polishes, 5#: Aussie Lapidary Forum: Rock Tumbling Guide!
