Pictures are in to much shadow, try to make better ones. Also, scratch all parts of in with a steel knife.

Salvatore, the fluorescent lights will cause the images to be yellow, so try taking the pics under natural light.

Appears to be massive milky quartz but that crystaline part is a bit different and appears to be a smoky quartz. I dont see any indication of beryl or feldspar however.
Thank you for the better pictures.
