I stumbled on this stone block at Z-16 that illuminates some light. It has red/pink veins and a dark black spot about 1/16 the size of a single block. I cannot mine it with my iron pickaxe. I tried googling it but cannot find anything related. I have the Soartex texture pack and the latest FTB unleashed installed. Anyone knows what this is and what it yields when mined?

@ChrisF Sure, done.– MadmenyoDec 21, 2013 at 17:13

1Does that pack have NEI or anything like that? If so, I would search through the pages until you find the item. It might take time, but it would ultimately give you the correct answer.– LLFDec 25, 2013 at 19:55

Yeah i have NEI, but there are loads of pages. I will look when i have the time for it.– MadmenyoDec 25, 2013 at 22:40

It's time consuming, but it is a sure-fire way to find the answer. I use that method any time I come across an item I don't know and can't pick up.– LLFDec 28, 2013 at 2:43

The type of hive is called a Deep Hive and it contains Attuned Bees. It is added by the Magic Bees mod (formerly referred to as Thaumic Bees). Here's the default texture:
As with all beehives, you collect the bees from it by breaking it with a Scoop.

Yeah i found another one as well and wanted to add this too. Since you named the hive, the bees it contains and the mod they are in i grant you the bounty.– MadmenyoDec 28, 2013 at 23:49
It looks like one of the Beehives. Use a scoop on it. Make a scoop by placing sticks in a crafting table in the shape of a Y or a 2 prong fork, and place a wool block in the middle of the top part.

Do you have the seed for that world? Could try to regenerate and revisit the coordinates Dec 24, 2013 at 14:32

@ender Beehives do not have a spot like that on the side, i compared it to a couple of hives but the regular bee-hives have more of a keyhole hole in them. I located it between redstone blocks and it was completely surrounded by solid blocks.– MadmenyoDec 25, 2013 at 22:42

@MennoGouw I downloaded the latest soartex fanver which has the same texture for stone as in your image, but it has no HD beehive textures, and the soartex for FTB Unleashed is all low res, the spots on the sides are 6px tall. In your image the spot is roughly 20px tall. The only beehives that should be available at that depth are Rock Hives, and they can spawn surrounded by stone Dec 25, 2013 at 22:55
This is a beehive. I have personally found, and harvested these blocks many times. I have never been able to (ever) find any information as to why these particular hives look different, or if extra bees or thaumatic bees has any part in why they look different. Next time I find one, I'll screenshot myself breaking it to get bees.
For the sake of acuracy, this hive was found in the Twilight Forest, in a cave, and it gave me an Attuned Princess.

Normally I'm all for sources, but I have none at this time. As stated, I'll provide one as soon as I find one, until then my [minecraft] badge is enough as far as I'm concerned.– EnderDec 26, 2013 at 20:34
