What is this green stuff?! Join me for a mineral identification challenge!
I received some samples of a beautiful green material from one of my viewers (Thanks for the challenge, Sam!) asking for help in identifying what it could be. Join me as I test and use various properties of the material to help me narrow down the possibilities! Findings: Hardness - 7 Fracture - Conchoidal Luster - Waxy Streak - Too hard to streak Color - Deep forest green with some blue, white weathering rind present on one sample Specific gravity - mass of sample in grams/mass of water displaced by sample in cm cubed, divided by the density of water at 4 degrees C - 2.59
