Ur all wrong its serpentine

The green flourishing dots and the monoclinic crystal system will be a dead giveaway. But I'm not looking through my mineral books for that one. Its too hard. You should have included a photo to narrow it down a bit.
sorry.

I am going to guess it might be apatite. However, specific gravity is a ratio of an objects weight in air versus it's weight in water, therefore should have no units. I noticed you have "grams" as the unit for specific gravity. I am assuming the specific gravity to be simply 2.6.

Its feasible that many minerals (especially those in the same family) could have those properties.
