I would have to say twigs in orange sherbet but I could be wrong. It may be ice cream. I will have to keep an eye on this post because I have something similar and do not know what it is. Sorry I am no help. Just bored. Jim

It looks like a Grano-diorite with hornblende (black crystals) to me. If you look at a QAP diagram for Plutonic rock you can compare the amounts of feldspar to plagioclase to get a more exact ID.

Is the matrix quartz or feldspar?

i think hornblende too , if the body of the rock has feldspar and quartz, then it is hornblende granite
