What kind of mineral is this?

17th Aug 2019 14:59 UTCLouis Zulli

It is a rock. It contains a variety of minerals. The light gray, glassy mineral is quartz. The more whitish mineral is probably feldspar. Not sure what the dark minerals are. The orange coloration is likely due to iron oxide minerals.

The small golden cubes are most likely pyrite crystals. They are set in quartz with some iron staining as Louis mentioned.
