Dusted, chemically, how far apart are Turquoise & Chrysocolla? They look very similar and have some of the same minerals.

GSXraddict , I would venture that it is a metamorphic foliated Shist or granite... but i seen some green at the tip.. do you have a little clearer picture?
Pat, I was looking at the first shot it seemed that there was powdered limestone or sandstone behind it .. It looks like you have a Granite (ballista or bubble from deep within the surface that was given plenty of time to cool off IE the quartz veins, and mineralization.) <img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=782200"/> the red and greens being Iron and Copper mineralization. It could also be carried on the surface by water or ice to an area its not from. the second picture you have is definitely granite, it has pockets of hot gas in it from when it formed. These typically form 22km under the surface and are thrust up via Volcanic activity , plate movement or earthquake, then cut back by erosion.
PATfreak ... not so much on the first one but http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachments/hard-rock-mining/782451d1366613774-got-rock-you-want-identified-post-here-gimme-good-picture-3-4-image-3585401546.jpg that one you just posted is yummy!<img src="http://www.treasurenet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=782627"/> That is a sweet vein with all kinds o mineralization... good source of gold to say the least.. i would crush and pan .. or just stare at it for a while..then crush and pan.. hehe the Quartz Iron copper and molybdenum is exuding thru it and .. well Yumm!
