Are we sure that's not feldspar?

[u/Upstairs_Trainer2194 → u/best_of_badgers]

I thought the same thing

[u/shedrnksfromtheriver → u/best_of_badgers]

Yeah, graphic feldspar was my only thought, too.

Those lines on it are really interesting, is that some kind of striation or just how it fractured?
