I found a rock that looks like green onyx or similar with a pale blue area?
« on: 03/05/2010 21:31:49 »
I will post a pic when i have time this week but if anyone knows what it is i would be very interested to know.  It is only 3cm wide and fairly rounded shape and almost looks like it has been fused together with a stone of some sort.  I could be wrong and it may be a type of marble or old ceramic with stone as i have no idea about rocks! Any ideas?

Perhaps kryptonite?
