Gneiss at Unicorn Point pattern by Virginia Catherall
On the southern tip of Antelope Island called Unicorn Point lies some 1.7 billion year old gneiss. Gneiss comes from the old German word gneist or “spark” announcing the glittery veins in the rock. This otherworldly rock is made of feldspar with pink bands of granite and quartz wandering and dancing through the formation, glittering and sparking in the sun.
