They look like some kind of ore minerals to me. They also resemble some of the highly fluorescent minerals from Franklin N.J. Have you tried a black light on them? Just a WAG.

Don't know where that other name came from but I noticed that too. I do use TapTalk to post pictures. Maybe it wouldn't take the MAN And only the MEN. I don't know.

If it isn't crumbly and holds together well, I've seen some llanoite (a porphyry/granite-type mix of feldspar, etc. with blue quartz) rough that looked similar. If so, makes nice cabs.

Yeah, I was thinking it bears some resemblance to badly weathered llanoite too. Usually it looses the red colors with weathering and becomes more tan and crumbly and less usable than the unweathered material which is very solid.....Mel

I’m thinking you’ve got a hold of excellent rough labradorite
