Alpine Granite

 

Alpine Granite comes from a formation called Swankane gneiss. The formation sits on the western edge of the North Cascade subcontinent and is bordered by plateau basalt to the east. This rock is estimated to have metamorphosed about 100 million years ago. A striking and signature element of Alpine Granite is the dikes of white pegmatite that streak the formation.
