I can not identify what type of rock/mineral/gemstone it is exactly. It is quite heavy and measures 14 inches by 5 inches. It looks mostly green blue like amazonite but also has some whiteish quartzlite qualities to it. It is opaque and has cleavage lines to some degree. Can you help me narrow it down? I have no idea the exact origin of it. I am attaching several pictures. Any help is appreciated.

Since I cant seem to zoom in on the images its hard to say, but there is Amazonite that looks like that from Mineral Hill in Delaware county PA. Pale green with lots of heavy iron staining on the outside.

Thanks for your input Fuss. It’s been really hard trying to find an exact match on the internet. I am glad I stumbled upon this site to get some other eyes on it!

Appears to be Amazonite to me. I have a similar piece but polished on one side.
