I hope it is not radioactive....

I found this mineral rock and I couldn't positively ID it by myself.
I am not sure if it is single or a combination of two or more.
Thanks for the help.

 

Some kind of matrix with... quartz crystals?

 

Pretty. Sparkly. I wonder if iron ore is involved, since there is such a rusty color to it...?

 

am thinking possibly quartz stained with iron oxide.

 

It's an interesting looking rock. Lots of different stuff going on. The 3rd photo looks as though it was formed by water in a cave-like situation (not necessarily a cave - I've seen geodes with similarities, and I could be wrong). I think the red probably is an iron coating. I can't tell about the other crystals. Looks like there might be several different kinds.

 

"Rusty" side looks like sea corals

 

It looks more pinkish in the daylight and it had one transparent red quartz (which I somehow lost)

 

I'm thinking it might be a quartz and feldspar mixture

 

Here's what I was thinking of... matrix plus... crystals.
MOS... good eyes re the cave idea.

Gila, the combo looks similar, but its a small stone. Mine is bigger (5.5x3.5 cm) and a non crystal part looks like covered in moss

 

Kinda looks contagious.............
