Welcome to the Forum Tiffanyy. What you have appears to be a chip of massive quartz with large grandular crystals. Massive quartz is compacted quartz crystals and yours shows a mix of smokey to citrine colored quartz and what looks to be amythest as well, the purple/red's. There are some clear bits in it as well.
