Re: Is This A Fossil? (Help Please)

Looks like graphic intergrowth to me (quartz - k-feldspar) in some sort of
pegmatite, but difficult to say without a hand lens examination. What's the
hardness like?
cheers

Hi, I found this rock in south Louisiana and am wondering if it's a
fossil and, if so, what kind? (See links to below photos.)

Sincerely,

Feles
