Looks like a quartz cluster.I'm not sure how much it's worth though..

yes, a quartz interior of a geode form maybe? the exact crystalline form could indicate something more rare, but the pix are a little blurry and it would take a GIA person to nail that down... i wonder what the little black growths are. Are the black specks crystals in their own right? and are they black or dark green, or some other color? epidote?

From the pic I'd say quartz crystals - but it could also be calcite. Not sure what the metal looking flecks are -
could be anything - pick one off and streak test it.

No, I don't think calcite, rather green quartz.
it's green not yellow or brown.
