Welcome to Tnet from Mississippi. I believe it's just a rock.

I think the red crystal is more than just a rock.

Cool find! I don't know what it is, but looks like something good!

It is a garnet. The shape is key. The most likely variety of garnet is almandine. If you use some fine steel pointed tools you should be able to clean it up some.
