Nice little cluster of quartz crystals! You could brighten it up by soaking it in oxalic acid. Be careful and do it outside though....

I've said it here before, "A rock is only worth what the other person wants for it." What makes a rock or mineral valuable is kind of like art, what appeals to the eye or the function. A chunk of coal to keep you warm in the winter or a chunk of diamond to dazzel the eye? Bit of color for your finger or grit on your sander to smooth the rough edges on your rocker?
