Fukuchilite - Cu3FeS8, is a copper iron sulfide named after the Japanese mineralogist Nobuyo Fukuchi (1877–1934), that occurs in ore bodies of gypsum-anhydrite at the intersection points of small masses of barite, covellite, gypsum and pyrite, and is mostly found in the Hanawa mine in the Akita prefecture of Honshū, Japan where it was first discovered in 1969. It occurs in masses within the third geologic unit of the Kuroko type deposits within the mine.

How a nice piece ended up laying on a log in my garden I have no idea.
Didn't know what it was so I took it to a rock shop for identification.

My birthstone is garnet but I've never liked to wear red gemstones. They remind me of bloodstones. Then I found a green garnet ring in Mexico in December. I didn't realize that garnets come in many colors; I thought they were all red. Hubby says it looks like a chip from a 7-Up or Sprite bottle, LOL, but I love it. I'll try to upload a photo.
