Similarly wrecked. The stone isn't quartz though!

whitewash? lichen? it looks a different colour on the sides?

Same questions as Rhiannon sir.

I don't know, I think it's just the colour of the stone! Sorry my basic geology is failing here, I don't know what kind of stone it is. The darker side is probably due to the stone being broken, so the side hasn't been exposed to the elements.
