Here are a couple of rocks I picked up today. A lilac color makes me think maybe lepidolite? Some pegs around.

Quartz? Don't look like mica to me.

How about spodumene? I have never seen lilac colored quartz around here, but but lithium minerals are common in the local pegmatites.

Spondumene has cleavage, if memory serves. Not likely.
