Check the hardness, see if a steel knife can scratch it, if it does it's most likely calcite, to double check that its calcite drop some vinegar on it and see if there's a reaction (bubbling/fizzling) if your fingernail can scratch it its gypsum, if neither scratch the surface I'm guessing quartz. Best I can help from a photo, maybe someone else on here may know just by sight.

It also looks like honey calcite to me. The "honey" is due to color only. Calcite comes in a lot of colors.
