Joshua Tree Rock Formations

Monzogranite peak breaking up from jointing, mostly vertical.  A prominent aplite dike cuts through the top.  Spheroidal weathering rounds off and smooths the boulders.  This is also an inselberg, a corestone isolated in ages past by deep chemical weathering of the quartz monzogranite.  Joshua Tree National Park, California.
