[@ratcheeroo1185]

Hey great video! Awesome find, I knew it was a special one! So glad I sent that to you, the cabs look amazing! Guess I am going to spend a bit more time looking for some more of that. Thanks so much!!

[@pretzel2272]

Absolutely amazing! 😊

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks again!

[@csm5130]

The green looks also like peridot, nice piece!!!

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

That was my first impression! But I'm not very knowledgeable, so I'm not one to use as a "source". (But not saying anything of you! Of course I don't know you. Cheers!)

[@RockhoundingLife]

Peridote is Olivine. Olivine and quartz do not occur naturally together which is why i eliminated it from beimg peridote(olivine)

[@mookinbabysealfurmittens]

@@RockhoundingLife That's the kind of stuff I don't know! Fwiw, I posted my comment at the start (really, first impression) but I did catch the end of that part and thought it was great!

Looks just like serpentine found in Washington state.

Whatever it is, it's beautiful 😍

[@pretzel2272]

What an amazing rock! The cabs are beautiful! 😍🤩

[@NickAcker2019]

Thanks to the NB viewer!! Cabbing that was a great call. Have you ever collected material on the NB side of the Bay of Fundy?

[@sandmaker]

Amazingly beautiful cabs. Great polish!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Many thanks!

[@gwynnfarrell1856]

Cool rock formation, gorgeous cabs!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Many thanks!

[@jonnsgirl]

Really beautiful cabs, wow! I love epidote. I have a mystery green rock that I found in NB while collecting on a gravel road. I keep meaning to send you a pic. It looks like a pebble of green glass.

[@Mike-br8vb]

The cabs look great! Nice identification!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thanks!

[@karencole1623]

Those are very beautiful!

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! 😊

[@melodyhart1331]

Pretty cabs.

[@AvalonDreamz]

Looks like Jadeite. Even the outer husk. I think you got you a hunk of jadeite. Not a high quality, but makes a nice cab.

[@RockhoundingLife]

I think it is too soft for jadeite. And this part of the world doesnt have much or any jadeite that i know of.

[@williamproctor4388]

I knew those were going to make some awesome cabs.😎

[@RockhoundingLife]

Oh yeah!

[@kirsiselei8703]

Wow, looking amazing😍❤️

[@RockhoundingLife]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@Timothious_Maximus]

Looks like Serpentine to me, at least from the outside.

[@judelightfoot6444]

That looks very similar to material I collected in Meat Cove CB.

[@rajku8126]

I have also one brown & black

[@millypugh7240]

I have one smilar i found n southern alberta, but the green is much denser. Wish i could send a photo

[@RockhoundingLife]

You can send it to [e-mail]

[@markkilley2683]

The black isn't biotite or apatite, or similar?

[@RockhoundingLife]

No. Under the microscope they are dark green.

[@RickSmith-kp3sy]

Prehnite?

[@STandM3]

Hi I don’t see them on your site, sent a message on FB

[@RockhoundingLife]

Up there now

[@scottprather5645]

Serpentine

[@RockhoundingLife]

Too soft

[@scottprather5645]

@RockhoundingLife serpentine can vary from a hardness of three to six on the Mohs scale
