Sometimes they use brass,bronze, pyrite, or zinc between the nuggets. First one looks more like zinc on my screen Did some internet research and I would say with a fair degree of certainty that it is Mohave Purple Turquoise. The first picture is wet and is misleading in the color of the ore, it is definitely copper colored. Internet research shows that MPT consists of Kingman turquoise and a copper/tin alloy (bronze). My customer insists he bought it in Bisbee, so the only mystery is what was Kingman turquoise doing in Bisbee? Well I can say their material is all over the world. I have slabs of quite a few of their materials. Will sell to who ever likes it and that would be in MN. Still doesn't look like their Mojave though. Probably sawed and sold maybe 10 kilos.

Not sure if if king man Mojave turquoise from Colbaugh processing. Most of their material has smaller nuggets I believe. Here is part of the website www.kingmanturquoise.com/shop/pressed-composite-bricks. I do believe it is a composite but not made by kingman. I think Colbaugh came up with the name and any purple “turquoise “ is called that now. Can’t believe I said purple turquoise. You can always send them a pic and the will confirm it’s theirs and what it’s called

I don't think stromatolite. Technically Lakers can be found as far south as Kansas and as far west as Lincoln Nebraska. Most a gates banded or not in my area NE Minnesota are called lakers. So I guess my thoughts are if it is an agate and not a Ryolite or some other rock, and it was found around the lake I would call it a laker.
