Hi there…I would guess these to be Morenci, as these have pyrite in them (the silvery material in the matrix). They’re lovely!

Hi
Thank you so much for helping me! I was thinking Morenci as well. They have such a bright color - my happy stones.

They are super cool stones with all that pyrite. Pyrite doesn’t always mean Morenci, although Morenci is well known for it’s pyrite content. I know Kingman can often have pyrite as well, and probably some other mines I’m not aware of. So I don’t feel comfortable saying definitively they are Morenci, although that was my first thought as well. Whatever they are I really like them, though.
