I started cutting this today. The "metallic" areas are porous and softer than my knife. The green is harder than my knife. I know the "metallic" areas are metallic because I tested them with my DVM. Copper? Silver? Both? Something else?

I can't remember which has that metallic sheen. AzRockGeek, have you any advice?
