Hiya everyone. ^_^; I was wondering if someone could help me with IDing this certain stone I found, I'll start with a description but I'll have pictures soon.
I live in a fairly populated city, but behind my neighborhood there is wooded area with a large field and a long, gravel-like (unpaved and natural gravel) road that leads to a rock cory, which is a large cliff of stones with a big pond in the center. Anyway in the field and on the way there, amongst the pretty normal light-grey colored rocks there are odd pink ones that stand out here and there. They're slightly rounded and upon closer inspection seem slightly darker, but they are noticably pink. When broken in half the inside is very crystal-like but not transparent with a little tinge of white and very shiney pink. The stones (before broken) can fit comfortably into a palm and I've never seen on bigger than a fist. The ones that're slightly burried or under the ground are bigger and some are a little jagged, but you have to look sort of hard to find those. I'm sure no one's layed these rocks there on purpose because it's a previously undeveloped site, though it is owned, it is rarely visited by the owners and they are making major construction over the thing (building houses and what-not), so I don't really see any reason to lay pink stones when concrete and normal gravel works fine.
I thought it was rose quartz, but I'm not sure. Any ideas?
