This material is called Vulture Mountain Shattuckite from an area north of Bisbee, AZ.  I'm told it's a mixture of shattuckite, chrysocolla, malachite, ajoite and in this piece, black tenorite.  This cab also has traces of a silvery unidentified metal that doesn't show well in my images but displays interesting reflections when the stone moves in the light.
