Thanks Egon,
It really needs a good pressure washing to clean it up good, but it is different /forums/images/graemlins/blush.gif

Had to register to respond on this one. Looks like quartz, and a really nice sample at that. Take a nail/knife/piece of steel. and try and scratch it. If it scratches it's probably calcite. If not, almost 100% likely its quartz. I'm pretty familiar with, and have done a fair bit of geology work in your area and quartz veins are common.

Hi Hydrogeo,
Thanks for the reply and welcome to the forum. Hope you stay on as a regular! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Thanks for the reply, and yes I was thinking quartz also, when I get a chance I will give it the test.

Thanks Again
