This is a roadcut expansion on highway 118 about 2 kilometers east of Loves Road. The road cut was expanded & the fractured boulders exposed small veins of calcite in biotite gneiss. Most of the material was removed & the calcite veins are present near the bottom of the road cut, but most likely will be covered by new grass growth.
