    Can anyone specify what the guy is posing with?

    He seems so happy about something, but all I see is rocks.

      Looks like some kind of intrusion of magma (the pale rock) into the darker rock. you can see how all the veins seem to originate from the pale rock, also the broken-of dark part in the pale rock seems to indicate it, could be part of the original rock, that surrounded the magma, before breaking of.

      Some actual geologist might want to give their opinion though. I only had like two years of geology at university before shifting my studies toward crystallography and crystal growth.

        Yeah that was implied with geology. I meant a more detailed explanation why this rock in particular is supposedly cool
