Thought for fun I would start a guessing game. I already know what this stone thought it would be fin to see if anyone can correctly identify it.  20160919_132833-1 by James Sloane, on Flickr |

Those dots have the same look as the dots in peanut obsidian but different color.

Looks like a type of granite to me. There are inclusions of a secondary type of rock I am unable to identify. Many of the granite's on my property have similar inclusions.

No correct guesses so far. Here is a clue. The matrix is more common on the moon than on Earth.

Looks like almandine garnet crystals in some sort of substrate I can't identify. Definitely metamorphic if I'm correct about the garnets. Doesn't look like the usual micaceous schist. Maybe a nice gneiss?
