Bornite is a copper iron sulfide ore, it looks gold when freshly exposed, and tarnishes into iridescent colors giving it the common name 'Peacock Ore'.
The amount of copper and iron can vary significantly in each piece, this particular piece was heavy on copper sulfide which made it problematic to polish.

No tumbling the pits out of this stone.
Overexposed this photo a little with the camera flash to try and show the translucency of the stone.
Caught a little bit of the quarter and a tiny bit of the snake.

This stone is a little odd. I've tumbled a lot of rocks, but, this is the only one like it so far.

Wow, I wonder what that is? Sorta looks like a ball of yarn?  What a strange rock. If you find out what it is, do let us know?
