Everyone has IR. Even poking at it with knife (something that in all honesty I would expect everyone here to do if they really had the sample) would show the fragible nature of the lump.

That would have eliminated both calcium and phosphate off the bat and I wouldn't need to trust a museum curator. The first test I would have done was an EDAX.
