Hi
I would like your assistance to identify the rock formation in the following image



this rock has low but sustained reaction with HCl and the green minerals are easily scratched with the fingernails while the rest is not but can be scratched with a knife

Pull out your regional geological map and descriptions and start there- at least a dozen different rock types could be linked to those photos- it's nice for a quiz thread but can't progress without a lot more details.
Cheers,

Then again, it's hard to identify rocks in hand specimen without some context.
In light of what I know, I'll go on a limb and call this rock, "Leaverite." Leave 'er right there!
