Can anyone id this stuff?

[Potbelly11]

Found this in a dry creek bed, anyone know it?

Might be common but I have never seen any before...

Is it heavy? Metallic or rock?
It looks like a melted piece of plastic.

 

[Potbelly11]

That's what I thought!

It's like a rock, I can scrape it and mark it

And not heavy like Quartz

 

[aussiefarmer]

That's different , stumps me maybe dinosaur snot ?

Does it have a sandy texture or smooth? When you say you can mark it, what were you scratching it with?

 

[Potbelly11]

It's smooth.

Just a screw driver.

It's got me buggered maybe selenite??

 

[shivan]

If it was selenite you should be able to scratch it with a fingernail, as selenite is a form of gypsum I believe.
Can you give a rough idea of the area it was found?

 

[Heatho]

I'm thinking Turquoise. If you can tell us the area it was found that would help but I understand if you aren't keen.

Are there any nickel mines in the vicinity?
Looks very much like chrysoprase.

Yeah you're probably right there Nightjar. I have to agree after looking at some more photos of Chrysoprase.

Heathcote area

Certainly looks like crysoprase or chacedony, lots of copper content in your rock
