I was ready to see rhodochrosite. Compared to that, I'm clueless.
I don't see pink

I think what you have there is massive form grossular garnet. I find these in my neck of the woods. Sometimes they are a grossular-vesuvianite or a grossular-diopside mix. More often they're just bi-color or tri-color grossular. I find some that are white with hot pink grossular. They're neat looking stones.

Yours is basically a water-worn example of this.

I agree I was thinking that the white is feldspar it's the combination of red blue and green minerals that made me wonder I've never seen that combo before and actually this stone has the most blue I've ever seen locally besides aquamarine thanks again! flic.kr/p/QnWFBP
