Rusty quartz?

Found these rocks in the only part of Arkansas that historically, people have claimed that gold is present. I'm not that lucky, so I'm sure it's not. But any guesses as to what the heck it is?

Looks like one of the kinds of quartz I find in Juneau Alaska that has visible gold in it

I've never seen gold in quartz here in Arkansas but seems like this is the stuff it would be in. I'm going to crush it and pan it today. I will post if I get any gold out of it

This is from a crushing op.
This is what their main quartz ore looks like prior to crushing.
Just as a ref.

Damn it. Just went out to crush my pyrite and quartz and noticed that someone got in my shed and stole my kwik kiln. I needed to upgrade anyway I guess

If I were in Arkansas, I'd look for diamonds in the State Park!

Bug hole quartz is the stuff that carries gold here in Cal.And its rusty, with vug holes.

Crater of diamonds=1/1000 visitors find a diamond over 10 pts. I do far better playing my pick 3 evening lotto drawing lol Seriously. Diamonds, unlike gold, are worthless. Unless it's a large "specimen".
