Specifications:

This is a metamorphic mineral rock . Here are some details about identifying minerals:
Given the green and yellowish coloration and the rough texture with potential crystal formations, a possible identification could be Chlorite with iron oxide. Chlorite minerals often form in  rocks and are commonly green, while the yellowish coloration could be due to the presence of iron oxide minerals like limonite or goethite.
1. *Color*: The sample has a dominant greenish and yellowish hue, indicating possible presence of minerals like olivine, serpentine, or possibly some oxidation of iron-bearing minerals.

2. *Luster*: The luster seems to be non-metallic and earthy, which can help in narrowing down the type of mineral.

3. *Texture*: The texture looks rough with visible crystal formations, which could provide clues about the environment of formation. Based on the visible characteristics of the specimen  appears to be a type of mineral that could potentially belong to the chlorite group or a mineral with significant iron oxidation. 

4. *Streak*: While not visible in the rock the streak (color of the powdered mineral) can be tested by rubbing the mineral on a porcelain plate.

5. *Hardness*: Testing the hardness using Mohs scale can help identify the mineral more precisely. For example, if it scratches glass, it is harder than glass (around 5.5 on Mohs scale).

6. *Specific Gravity*: This is a measure of the density of the mineral, which can also help in identification.
