A lone picture is rarely enough to conclusively name a mineral so doing some groundwork like a streak test or hardness check
will help us to help you. Other useful information includes the location it was found, follow-up pictures with different
angles or lighting, and relative size.

Probably because the first picture looks like moldy bread 😂, but in all seriousness, the clear crystals are quartz while the orange-pink crystals might be weathered microcline
I have a small collection of stones like that which I tumbled to a polish and they turned out amazing! I believe it is a chunk of granite with quartz. The clear parts are quartz, and I think the pink is a type of feldspar (potassium?)
I am not an expert but that’s my best guess.

Wait why is this getting downvoted in two subs? Seems reasonable, am I missing something? I know it’s Reddit, but…

😂 and the stalest bread you’ve ever bitten lol but thank you, I had a suspicion that’s what I was seeing. I appreciate your feedback

Yea from the feedback I got and my gut feelings, this seems right! I’ll be getting a tumbler this year ☺️
Definitely quartz, maybe Feldspar?
I think you’re right! I appreciate your feedback
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
