sorry about the crappy image quality. it's fairly lightweight, rough and earthy looking with a light aqua blue fading to white. has a glimmer in some areas like glitter.

Odd thing to put on the FOSSIL forum ;)

But to my untrained eye it would appear to be turquoise or some lookalike mineral...

Hi Trent

Fossil Forum or not… don’t see why you shouldn’t be posting items like that in the “Rocks & Minerals” section. I thought that’s what it was for!

‘Tis true, Mindat is where the real experts are… nevertheless it does seem to be turquoise and there are several localities a little north of you in Talladega, Clay and Coosa Counties. Also Cleburne County to the east.

Keep a look-out for them fossils too, though.

Said before it was moved to rocks and mineral section.
