What Type of Rock?

I received my auction rock in the mail today. Unfortunately, I have no way to weigh it but guess it maybe around a pound. I would be interested in hearing your opinions on what type of rock it is.

I will post seller description later tonight.

Here is the description. I believe I may have been duped and am here for a learning experience.

I was leaning towards Shattukite Chrysocolla.

Thank you @StevesTrail. I appreciate you taking time to share your thoughts on this.

I tend to agree with chrysocolla, based on numerous pieces of chrysocolla I have.
For reference, here is a large piece of chrysocolla and azurite.

Keep in mind that the mine produced a variety of minerals so this specimen could still be Bisbee. Should cut some pretty cabs.

I don’t blame you. It’s really pretty, but when it’s not what it was advertised that’s frustrating.
