It's nothing spectacular, lets not jump out of our seats. But it's my first. But I have researched a lot to I.D it and I am stuck on a couple. Maybe someone can help me out?
My first inclination is that it's feldspar of some sort.
My second says it's druzy quartz, because on the back where I can't clean, there are thousands of tiny crystals.
My third says dolomite.
My fourth says "you're completely wrong and you need to learn more".
I also can't get the dirt off? Any suggestions? I tried laundry detergent and 24 hours. I did find it near a heavily iron laden area, but I'm pretty sure it's just dirt.
It makes a white streaks, hardness between 4-7, I found it in South Central Pa.
I did edit these images a little bit, just clarity, color and contrast so you guys could see the crystals better and see the forms of them.
You can click pictures for bigger pictures.
If someone IDs it, can you tell me why... not because I'm questioning you, but because I am trying to learn.
