Some new minerals, not sure what they are but they are different then what I've been finding.

Anywhere were there is contact between marble and granite there are crystals. In this case they are small and the marble and granite are together. This may be a very silvery Pyrite I'm not sure but its right at the contact zone.

After breaking up some massive scapolite we found these inside, I think they are Zircons
