Hey! I'm new to this and recently found a rock that my app identified as pegmatite but it has a bluish purple crystal, something green and also some orange and black in it. Does anyone have any idea of what if consists of? I'm in NJ but whatever was used to lay the base of our driveway had some cool rocks from all over. Thanks!
🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Looks like pegmatite but with various crystals?
Welcome to T Net and thanks for posting.
Pegmatite often contains feldspar, mica, various minerals and quartz.
It can also have gemstones in it.
Kind of a “grab bag” to investigate.
I don’t know if it is common in NJ, but a quick search will tell.👍🏼
