I found something more ...

This site has a similar stone - and they call the surrounding lavender colored stone: quartz with mica. I know there are tons of different types of quartz and tons of different micas - but maybe this helps narrow it down. Do you think I can find out which type of quartz?

It's funny how I feel like I'm being guided to answers since I posted the pics.

I feel like a little kid at Christmas time.
