The other rock has a pinkish or reddish color and as it mixes with the shuttuckite it looks green and it is translucent. It is easier to see in person. My wife says that it looks fake.

Oh I see what you mean Jhon.  I think that's the copper mineral. I dig chryscolla, azurite, malachite, turquoise mixture in Az. I never know what it is or if it's pure or what? LOL.  About half of it cabs great!  Some sorta tumbles. About half is a waste of time, crumblecola you know! LOL. But is great to work with when you know it's free so to speak and waste is not a concern!
