You can find this small rock on the sol 4200 post a few days ago.

They found green glowing rocks on mars? What is this, a 70's TV trope?
Awesome.

Small rock is dead. Long live smaller rocks!
Did they intentionally instruct the rover to crush the rock, or was this a result of autonomous navigation?
I wonder what the green crystals are. Malachite? Beryl? Olivine?
