Dear Mohamed,
I am no expert in geology but the white crystalline material in your
new rock looks almost identical to calcite deposits that we see a
lot of here in northern Minnesota. They are often found in dark
igneous rocks that look very similiar to yours. Someone else on
this list with a greater knowledge of geology may determine they
are something else but the point is not to jump to conclusions so
quickly. Being skeptical is a mark of a good scientific observer.
Check a common geology guide or search the Internet for 'calcite'
and I think you'll see what I mean.
In any event your enthusiasm is appreciated but take care in your
analysis.
Best wishes,
Bob
