I noticed this was your very first post gajonois - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forums: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country).

We totally need less blurry pics. Impossible to tell much of anything.

As EU says, to blurry for any ID. Where you picked it up from will help as well due to Amazonites limited localities.

Definitely need better pics, but it doesn't look like the amzonite from around here , kind of looks like malachite to me ?

Thank you for the replies guys. Here is a slightly better pic but these ones are nothing special but you can get the idea. These are found in Peregian Springs which is sunshine coast queensland australia.

Does not look like amazonite. Will a knife scratch it?

Does not appear to be amazonite to me either as there are no planes in the fractures I can see that are indicative of feldspar. A quick search on minedat only shows instances of amazonite in a few localities in Australia none near the place you found yours. A copper mineral is more likely due to coloration.

Thank you, when you said copper mineral I did some research and came up with:
Chrysocolla
chalcopyrite

What are your thoughts?

Agree it does not appear to be amazonite. Best guess is a copper carbonate, like chyrsocolla.
