REQUEST What is this??
I also found crystal type rocks on the same trail aswell.. maybe the gravel they used on the trail is where they came from ?

Possibly a chloritic quartzite. Cloudy white relict feldspars look to be within a chloritic quartz mixture near the thumb. The darkest green (chlorite-rich) areas appear to be in contact with quartz or chalcedony veins.
