Ok, so I originally posted this in another discussion forum on here. I usually view this site on my phone, and never noticed there was a specific rock ID forum, so anyhow, here goes. Thanks for any insight. **Actually just would like help in identifying the green rock. The small fragment is a piece I chipped off. The two "wet" pictures are of the same type of rock. It is very green looking when wet as you can see, and dry it is very pale. This "green" rock makes up a very large area at the base of a waterfall area. ** I edited my post to see if I can find out what type of rock this is. Thanks
