After doing some book research
![]() A ceramic tile would work for a scratch test, right? Just to remind ya's what the deuce I'm talking about, provided some pics, again. (The first pic looks different then the rest, because it's sprayed with clear coat as not to crumble.. more so than it had) -------------------- - You Rock! (Literally)

Yes, meant streak test. It's not a copper mineral. It doesn't change color in sunlight/artificial. Found clear quartz around it some with Chlorite inclusions. It's hard to do a scratch test on it, as it just crumbles. Super brittle. It almost feels like a chalk. In other words, soft. People have told me before that it's just fluorite (Mike S, included) but I'm still having my doubts. (kinda why I reposted it)
