DDancer Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Looks to my like a mixture of large quartz granules and mica schist. Common in most mountainous area's I've been to. Keep looking around there maybe crystals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldmancoyote1 Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 I don't know what it is, but I'll make a wild guess. There is a small possibility that it is a highly metamorphosed mix of pebble conglomerate, sandstone, and other sedimentary rocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geologyhound Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 I concur it looks to be a high grade mica schist to a low grade gneiss. In this case, “grade” refers to the degree of metamorphism within any particular metamorphic group. The red blobs could be fractured garnets.
