Title: I found a rock that looks like green onyx or similar with a pale blue area?
Post by: chloe 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?

Malachite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malachite#Gallery)  [?] (I'm guessing).
