Hey there, I hammered this piece of quartz of a 2ft wide vein cutting through schist host rock. I was prospecting in a gold producing area near shear zones.

Some of the mineral showing is bright white, but most as you can see is an ashy color. When tilting against light ill get a little redish hue.

Not sure what mineral. It doesnt look crystal like at all, so no galena. Thoughts?
