Unlikely. The veins you are describing are plutons - igneous intrusions of magma (often referred to as batholiths, dikes or sills, depending on structure).

Asteroids don't have the igneous properties of earth (molten core, dynamic crust, etc etc) and thus it's very unlikely you would find veins.

Odds are that the entire asteroid itself will be a big chunk of ore (ore being defined as valuable material).

How close did you land to water? Seems like you could have gotten lucky and landed in water, rather than bouncing off solid ground. Tough luck man.

PS: do you think there would be a danger of drowning guys??? Please add a 56th reply below and let me know.

Not answering the bulk of your question, but why not get diagnosed and get medication? I was in your shoes, as soon as I saw the symptoms I booked an appointment immediately and got started on medication. Luckily it worked immediately and I only suffered 3 weeks, but those were the worst 3 weeks of my life.

Usually the veins are created by mineral precipitation in aqueous solution.

Precisely, water is allowed to enter the earth's crust via foliation/cleaving/faulting/shearing or whatever you want to call it which is only made possible via tectonic activity (unless you consider dissolution in limestone formations and whatnot).

Below 1000ft water becomes quite rare (besides water we physically introduce into mines to lubricate equipment, flush cuttings, suppress dust etc), and the main mechanism is 100% igneous intrusion.

At depth, you can even see heavy crystallization in veins, indicating a VERY LONG crystallization period, which means the igneous material took hundreds, possible thousands of years to cool off.
