Some local granite...due to the mixed hardness of the material it is often tumbled to a mottled polish--unless there is a fine-grained formation or a particularly large composition of one type of mineral.

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.
