Kevin, just a guess but maybe epidote. Does the host rock have a granite look?

It's might be, stainless steel won't scratch it, the base rock seems pretty homogenous.

I was thinking quartz as well, the green veins caught my eye. When I go back I will definitely be looking for more, would be awesome to find more with a hug vein. Since it's a small creek everything has that grey white color to it so it's difficult to tell what is what.

Sense it is a small creek just bring all The rocks home sort them latter Walt it is small, yeah that's what I tend to do is try to find what I think might be something and sort it later, the banks are pretty steep, there's barely any water in it right now. I've barely explored it, carried as much as I could, but being out of shape probably had around 25 pounds. There's baseball and soccer fields all around I don't want to haul too much at one time, don't want to draw any attention to what I'm doing. There's no posted or other signs to prevent me from collecting, and I don't want to give anyone a reason to put them up.
