almost! for some reason the spots seem to have picked up different mineralization than the mother rock. what mineral stains quartz purple? I think the red would be iron oxide???

thanks guys, I don't have a saw but would be happy to send this to somebody who'd like to cut it! Hm, maybe it depends on the stuff that absorbing the minerals. We have quartzite and quartz in every color here from red to pure white, with yellow, purple, green, blue, grey and shades and bands of all colors in between. This is the darkest purple I've seen and the only purple with red spots... just plain odd.
