[QUOTE="RedDirtDigger, post: 295564, member: 2964"] Welcome to the forum Barracloughm. Hi, you have a lump of pegmatite, an area in the cooling granite where left over mineral juices formed minerals. Looks identical to pegmatite I get at oberon with feldspar & smokey/amethyst quartz in it. If you are near the area where your rock came from again, keep an eye out for lumps of quartz weathering out on slopes...these can lead you to vugh's/cavities in the granite that may contain big crystals. cheers RDD [/QUOTE]
