    Help with this very sparkly rock?

    Thanks! The coarse grained quartzite is probably correct, since the area in that map (“one small spot for quartzite in SC WI”) is exactly where I found it. It’s interesting (no probably nobody but me, hah)… I grew up there and have been around that quartzite my entire life, but have never seen...

    Help with this very sparkly rock?

    Agh, I know, it’s so hard to photograph accurately because it just doesn’t look the same, no matter what lighting I used.

    Found outside Kitui, Kenya

    Pretty sure these are just quartz, but I’d love to learn anything more that y’all could share with me! Maybe it’s because I live in an area with a lot of quartzite, but these look different than other quartz I (think I) have seen. The first rock (first 2 pics) has some areas that are quite...
