CRYSTALS FOUND

[605dano]

Some pictures of crystals we found on a hunt a week ago. I think they are calcite but don't know that for sure. If calcite would they be fluorescent under long or shortwave UV light?

Pretty sure they are quartz. What state or about where?

I believe they are calcite as they were collected from septarian concretions on the high plains absent of any quartz environment.

If they are calcite you can scratch them with a piece of glass.
If they are quartz they won't be scratched by glass
