First glance maybe calcite... But also could be gypsum

 

[dewbad]

do they have any value?

Not sure what it is but the twining is very interesting.

Measure the included angle, that and the number of sides to the crystal, and a scratch test That will get you there.

Looks like dogtooth calcite

Cool specimen whatever it is.See if a mineral collector would be interested for his/her collection.

We find these same crystals up here in Manitoba Canada. Always in the grey clay. We find them on a big hill called Thunder Hill. So we call them Thunder Hill diamonds. The clustered ones are common. No value that I know of. you can break them in half very easily.
