Need help identifying this rock I fount in White Co Tennessee. It looks to have quartz crystals. It also has these silver?? And goldlike?? Flakes/pieces that are not really seen untill I shine a light on the crystals or hold a light so that it illuminates the crystals and reflects off the silver and goldlike pieces. Any info will be of great help, thanks guys

That's a funky looking piece. Flourite? Not sure, try getting better pics in natural daylight.

Do a hardness test on the backside, not on the crystals!

It looks like druzy quartz to me. The "silver" and "goldlike" parts are probably pyrite. If you take your pics in natural sunlight it can be better to be able to Identify it, indoor light does not show the true nature of what you have. Flourescent light is the worst thing to use to take pics of anything! (Just some suggestions to help out!)
