Looks like a pretty ratty piece of pegmatite. I see some quartz,feldspar, and mica in there. staining could mean there's some garnet involved, probably some iron. Who knows.
Overall I would say there's not much in that piece itself, but it could be a clue that there's some ideal minerals around (kyanite, garnet, crystal quartz, tourmaline, who knows?)

I have no idea what it is but I really like it! It almost looks like an oversized fossil pinecone.
