I like to keep good quality I 1/2 them the originals were 18 mbNugget said:
Images loaded ok for me.
Unfortunately I am a novice and have no clue what it is :8
Only thing is the green is similar colour to copper.
As Nugget said, when some of the gem people log in they will no doubt be able to narrow it down.

Looks a lot like Malachite on Quartz from the pic. Did you find it anywhere near a copper mine.
Cheers Wal.

A lot of gold mines have copper associated ores within them, Malachite is quite often found around the mullock of deep reef mines.

Yep
It is malachite - the fine radiating crystals are typical of that mineral where it has space to grow. It will form little "bubble" shaped surface features. This is called botryoidal malachite and when it forms as hard unweathered samples it can be regarded as "gem" malachite. Gem malachite is relatively rare and if well sought after. Nice specimen - dont bash it around to get it out of the quartz.
