Greetings,

I visited an area rich of quartz on a roadside that hasn't been claimed.

I believe the area lies on or close to a fault.... there was granite shifting one way, and some sort of purpley shale coming from the other side...

I dug into one of these quartz veins and smashed one open to reveal this stuff inside... (pic below)

When I rub my fingers across it, it's very similar to glitter...

Could it be bismuth? Mica? I only started prospecting this year.... and don't have a formal education in Geology, but I'm learning.

Thanks for your help.

Gio

I was going to say mica too. Maybe you should post it on the rock forum, I am sure they will assist you with an ID
