That was the big heavy SoB that I was carrying up the hill when we were waiting to move on to the next spot.

Expect the white areas to be softer than the rest. Sometimes if you find red veins in it, the veins are cracked or unfinished.

Usually the reds are not very solidified. They get potchy and love to break through the surface. I cut some with red spiders veins, the majority fell out or had voids. From what I can see of his, it may be more solid since it isn't vein like.
