Can Someone Tell Me What Kind Of Rock Is This


Recommended Posts


I can't give you the exact name. It is definitely and intrusive igneous rock with the minerals quartz, mica and feldspar visible. It has been rounded by being in moving water or rounded by desert sand and wind.

Looks like granite to me too. Photo isn't clear enough.

I did not want to give an exact name to Rayen's igneous rock because of the presence of yellowish feldspar which usually indicates a plagioclase feldspar not an orthoclase feldspar. This yellow feldspar could put this specimen more towards granodiorite or diorite if it is plagioclase.
