    i own property out in Tonopah, Az.these green rocks are all over my property.i habw more to identify but dont have pics yet.

    Does anyone know for sure what the rock is?many different shades of green.some very vibrant grassy green when wet.i have 2 the size of baseballs off my property and tons of smaller ones.

    also, any books specifically of AZ rock identification?the book i have doesnt cover my area specifically.

    and another question.where around the Phoenix area can i find turquoise.closer to the buckeye area but will travel a little to get to some.

    sorry for so many questions
    been wanting to ask for a while and just came to me.

    thank you everyone for reading and replying :)

    Here is something we offer:
    The Department of Earth & Atmospheric Sciences Mineral Laboratory at the Metropolitan State University of Denver offers FREE non-destructive & destructive mineral identification services as part of their geoscientist training program and university community outreach. Samples will be assigned to students in Mineralogy & Optical Mineralogy during the Fall semester ONLY and analyzed under supervision by the instructing professor according to the clients specification. Clients will be presented with a full analytical report by the end of the semester and non-destructive tested specimens will be returned upon request (Please provide SASE or pickup at the Earth Science laboratories at MSU Denver).

    This is a FULL report where we will present you with physical analysis, full-fledged geochemical analysis, as well as crystallographic XRD analysis and complete, easy to understand interpretation. There is no limit on how many samples you can submit. There may not be enough capacity to do them all, therefore we are usually resorting to a first come, first served system. Samples should be mailed to our laboratory end of August.

    I don't know if we are allowed to post links on this forum to point you to the sample submittal forms. But you can contact me via email and I will send the you the link if you are interested.
