Hello,

I am looking for help identifying these rocks I got from purchasing a entire estate which included a rock collection. Any help would be greatly appreciated. If you need any different angles please let me know.

Definitely not Quartz.

Maybe tiny crystals of calcite or gypsum.  I'm not 100% positive on that.

If you have a local college or University with a geology department, take it there to see what it is because they will have the ability to analyze it far better than we can with pictures.

Sorry I've been absent from the forums for a while.  I realize
 this was a while back but looks un answered.  It looks to me like Chalcopyrite with Calcite on your first images
