Need opinions

[Rich in Texas]

I found this while walking a very rocky creek channel on our ranch on the Edwards Plateau in Texas. Not sure what it is.

The side



Other side



Bottom



Top



Overall size is 2 1/4" high.

Any help would be appreciated.

Need to do a hardness test.
Yes they look like they could be calcite.

How are you doing, Rich? Good to see that you are out and about!

Could also be quartz. Test to see if it reacts with acid, or do a hardness test. Calcite will bubble and fizzle when touched with acid.

Thanks folks! Yes I'm up to being able to walk a couple of miles at a time and I'm putting it to good use. Hunting game and rocks.
