So this is Aspenite. Not yet officially classified apperently but is silicated limonite mixed with chrysocolla found in Mexico 40 years ago by a guy from colorado who has passed on but his friend still has a small supply of rough that he has been selling cabs from.... at a steeeep price. I was lured in by them an bought a few. It was probably the orange and blue that got me.

Niiiiice! That's really pretty. I've found some liminitic quartz similar but nothing that good.
