    Curious as to why you want these rocks?

    My father dug a road up the mountain many years ago and cut through a vein of Quartz, enormous quantities.

    Actually have had geologists taking samples of the quartz looking for gold in pyrite.

    It's in North Sligo. Well I suppose the vein is deep down in the earth but the road he made, in places is just a sheet of quartz peddles with the occasion big rock. On neighbors land further up the mountain I have seen a few enormous quartz boulders.
