The white looks like calcite to me, try a hardness test on it, let us know! :icon_thumright: Also, If it is calcite, some vinegar will make it bubble, quartz, it won't.

So, it's likely calcite. A drop of vinegar and some bubbling and fizzling will confirm the ID.

Yeah? I'm also a staving artist; but a lapidary one. I'm not a geologist, but I like the joke.:laughing7:
