More paving stones, Geology George responds (MLLG):

Geology George responds to ID quest:

probably rhyolite a volcanic rock

the lines are leisengang rings which show iron etc. moving through the rock

the broad red stripes could be a silica strain

could host opal (those are my shoes)

volcanic rocks are good hosts for precious metal (gold and silver mined in area)

expect to find agates "fire agates"

Thanks G. George, we'll keep our eyes open!!!
