Woohooo! Got my box of rocks from stonesthatrock, they really are awesome suppliers!! This box will keep me busy for a while. Looks like, among other things, we got some really good pieces of agate. And, a pretty green rock. It is at the top of the pic I have posted here. Anyone know what that is? Thanks! Mike

I may be wrong but this looks like chyrsocolla with heavy Malachite inclusions or malachite in silica with a bit of chrysocolla--depends on how you look at it.

Thank you for the confirmation on that MJ. After looking at some examples of cabbed specimens of this material on this board, I can hardly wait to start working on these pieces!
