I found this rock

[Chippie]

Hi. Well, I've had this rock for a while, and I really don't know a thing about it where it came from or anyting like that. It was in a shed on this piece of property we bought. So I'm hoping that somebody can help me. This rock is really very heavy. It has some faceted diamond shape parts to it. Some of the pieces of it are like a fiery red orange and so clear. I don't know what other information I could give to help identify this rock. But I would definitely appreciate any input somebody could have for me. Thank you

Difficult to say, looks like quartz with either Garnet or Zircon? Consider doing a hardness test with a knife and quartz, if possible.

Definitly need to do some hardness testing. Quartz for sure is present. I'm leaning more towards a mix of milky quartz and smokey quartz, some with a citrine quality, but some of that does look like garnet as well. The most focused part near the middle shows those three minerals to me. Because of its compacted massive nature its kinda hard to pick out what the deformed materials are. Could you try a couple of other shots around the stone as well?

Definitely, and thank you for helping me to understand this rock.
