Thank you all for your thoughts and interst.
I agree that the green is organic. This rock was not green when I first found it. It has been sitting in a garden for the last 10 years. Crystals facing down.
I am a novist rock hunter as I always look at rocks in my daily adventures. On this day years ago I was on my way to pick raspberries when...
I found this rock in a wooded edge of property. just off the trail, I see a small roundered area with no vegetation growing in it, about a 4ft. around area diveted in words. It looked like a rock was dropped from the sky. Right there in the center was what looked like a old turtle shell mostly buried in the mud. So I dug it up to investigate it more. it was this rock.
So far my research leads me to belive that this rock ether could be a local earth stone or it could be a rare stony meterite. Both seam to be possible with my nawlage. The crystals look like melt points to me.
so I am working on a density test as soon as I go figure out how lol. 1.5 times heaver if from space Then if from earth. If so then I think I'll have to send away for lab testing.
So what do you all think? Am I just waisting my time with this rock or do you think its possible to be a rare space rock.

I found this rock years ago and had to hold on to it until I knew more about it. At first sight, I thought this rock was a turtle shell stuck in dried mud. Has crystallized breads on it and they can't be scratched with a utility knife. Vary heavy, the size of a vollyball. Not magnetic. Just wondering if anyone has seen or knows of rocks like this one?
Has Anyone Seen A Rock Like This One Before?
