SE Texas - Blue/Green/Orange Horse Tooth

Found this yesterday amongst other unusual items on a gravel bank near the transparent tooth I recently posted.  Based on the chewing surface... is this an Equus? I think it is missing the part where a protocone would be.  It has beautiful colors.  Lately I've been finding some unusual colored specimens. There's gotta be something in the water here.

Beautiful blue coloration.  It might imply iron and phosphate ions in the water.  Search eg., "Vivianite and biosynthesis in mycrobial interactions".  I suspect the coloration may be due to the mineral vivianite.
