Crystal on a rock found in Afghanistan!

I have no idea what this is but, it intrigued me! I was about 20 feet down in a very large hole in the ground being dug out by our engineers. I’ve always been fascinated by the earth and its soil, rocks and minerals! I followed the walls of this hole all around admiring the visible individual layers of fine sand on top of large rocks, on top of smaller rocks, on top of clay…

I dug into the wall a good foot in depth with my knife hoping to find some ancient Afghan artifact and or some kind of fossil. Sadly, I didn’t make the discovery of the century however; I did find the above along with some other interesting rocks. I was like a kid in a candy store! I could have stayed and played in that hole for a week! LOL!!!!

What you see above is very small; smaller than my thumbnail actually! I really didn’t have a container to place this small pebble in so I put it in my pocket hoping the crystal would not break off by the time I got back to my office. I was pleased to see the crystal still intact upon my arrival.

Anyone have any clue to what this is? How would crystal grow from this small of a rock? Did the crystal grow downward, or upward? How could the crystal grow at all being burried under tons of other dirt, rocks and clay?

I’m selling my f/2.8L 100mm Macro if anyone is interested – I’d be willing to trade for the Canon MP-E 65mm 1×5 Macro!
