At the previously-mentioned "Tiny Town" within the Elberton Granite, my wife and I managed to escape from home duties for a little while this afternoon. I was rewarded with two manageable-sized Elberton Granite specimens, both with Xenoliths composed of Biotite Quartz Schist (from an unknown local metamorphic unit). [There might be a formal name, but I am not yet familiar enough with the local Piedmont metamorphic units.]
To refresh, the Xenoliths I have found in the waste dumps of this small monument-cutting firm have been dominated by a Biotite Quartz Schist (with varying degrees of Quartz).
Here is additional Xenolith info and links to other past Xenolith posts.
