[QUOTE="AtomRat, post: 302829, member: 3111"] Gday Ditch! Nice find! To me, id say you have a quartz plate from an open cavity vein, meaning a thin quartz vein with a gap in the middle, but a tight gap. Most likely the vein had several plates like youve within the area, where some nice bigger crystals may appear! Is the host rock a sedimentary (like sandstone) or igneous rock? (granite) The green tint may be where chlorite has been suggested [/QUOTE]
