Any ideas

This is a close up with my phone so hope it's good enough to see the shapes and color

Here's another. I know the host rock was called something like ferricrete and it's from the volcanics. Just a guess. Any wye I was thinking it could be a type of garnet. Most the crystals are triangular in shape.

I'm guessing quartz with another mineral that causes the color...

Is it magnetic? I'd guess not, but can't hurt to try.
Either way, its a keeper!

I am thinking Schorl Tourmaline but that is probably wrong!

Been trying to track this one myself~ if your base material is ferrocrete its possible that the crystals are from a magnesium mineral. Interesting. If you can get a magnified view it may help. Triangular shaped crystal structure rules out garnets and tourmaline materials in my opinion
its also possible that it may be a zinc mineral like sphalerite.

Here's a few more pics. I tore to get a good close up. The last one is at 60 x but hard to see cause the light. Thanks everyone for the help

From the magnified view I'll go with micro crystalline quartz and hematite crystals as the most likely materials. Thanks.
