quartzenbiogovenentz is the actual name it is indiginous to the south western regions of Florida, with a stability rating of 88% in relation to the possitive microns in and about the neuro center mass. It's heat element is 123.89 bergonovitz from the tip to the southern hemisphere and it is rumored the ancient natives used it to make anything from canoes to sour mash whiskey. :doh

Alright gents, having a B.S. in Geology I couldn't pass up a chance to talk about rocks.



I haven't seen the rock in question but I'll clarify a few things for yall:



1) most likely the rock is Granite. Granite is mostly composed of quartz, micas, and feldspars (both plagioclase and potassium). Plagioclase feldspar is very white usually, which is probably why you have mis-ID'd the rock as a Marble. If it had potassium feldspars (K-spar) it would have a reddish color to it.



Marble is nothing more than metamorphosed (heat and pressure) Limestone (which is usally composed of carbonates, ie: parts of once living organisms like seashells, etc). If you ever look really close at Marble you can usually make out some shells...



The mineralization of granite is really quite complex. If you really want to know you can google Bowen's Reaction series, but it all comes down to heat and pressure. I would say that they would've used Granite for jetties and groins due to it's robust qualities. Marble would break down fairly quickly. If you can find a picture of the rocks then I can ID it for you pretty easily.



Anyways, I'm going off on tangents here. If you're interested in Geology just let me know.

Pretty much what I said ! LMAO:moon
