Tuesday, June 6th. Örö Island. 

 

This rock had a very interesting vein of mineral running through it. The pattern was very pretty. We need a geologist to explain this one.

A bit late here - started reading as I'm on the Wind later this year.

 

Yes, a very interesting rock.  What used to be a planar vein of quartz has been intensely squeezed and folded. Take a piece of paper and fold it like this - then imagine a rock doing it.
