Looks like Heliodor from the photo.

May be Topaz. just a guess. Maybe Citrine.

My first thoughts were Citrine until I zoomed in the pic! Now, I am thinking that it may in fact be Heliodor or even Yellow Tourmaline due to both the intense yellow color and also due to the crystal structure.

I'll have to agree with the Heliodor comment above.. the crystal's structure is hexagonal shaped and even has a few points.. If it was the yellow tourmaline.. It would not have the hex or points.. Clearly these are perfect examples of Heliodor I've seen none better.

Is appetite possible?

If you're making waffles...yes. I want some.

Are you referring to Apatite? Or possibly Fluorapatite? I don't think those are likely. They naturally have many flaws and inclusions. Your crystals are nice and clear. I'm sticking with Heliodor on these.

I was concerned with the crystals color. Often these types of crystals are colorized to enhance it's color and that would be my first clue as to if it was something else.. but the color is very rich as I stated before and clean.. thou It's unclear if the crystals have been polished as to enhance their clarity.

I'd also lean towards heliodor.
