6.0 Porphyritic leuco-granodiorite. Castle Crags, California.  Gray glassy quartz forms square-appearing euhedral crystals, euhedral pink crystals are alkali feldspar, and white crystals are plagioclase feldspar.  A weathered mafic phase appears as goethite or limonite fillings in small depressions. [Scale is standard GSA scale with cm divisions.]
