Any Idea Where This Rock Came Form?
(& What It Is)
(It's bound to be from the Stewarts - and I was guessing ~MSH~ - but...)

In this image, you can see:
The best I've been able to reckon, these may all be hemimorphite - but I'm not at all convinced.
You can't see the fact that many of these specimens have a large proportion of what looks to be a native metal.
My best guess would be galena, although I don't get any lead smell, nor the cubic fracture/parting.
Only a very few places show any structure that might give a clue.
This one says it's taken from the/a "end":

Whatever, it shows the clear ~cube~s up close.
The green is exaggerated here, because of the brighness & contrast settings.
This one is as far as I could zoom in on a feature that looks like a ~rosette~ of xls:

I guess this one actually came out better for showing both that feature and a whole bunch of simmilar structure down in one of the main vugs.
It looks almost like tetrahedral(?) gmellinite here, but it doesn't at all under the microscope.

& here's a zoom in on one of the triangular faces that's a truncation of the ~cube~s:
