Can you scratch a piece of quartz with it? Topaz will scratch quartz. If they are quartz or chalcedony they will scratch a steel knife.
No crystal shape left. They have been pretty nicely polished by Ma Nature.

It looks similar to many pieces of Topaz that I have. Does it feel greasy when you rub it with your' finger? If so, then more than likely it is Topaz!

Yeah it scratched the quartz crystal I have, it does feel oily to the touch, I tried that, thanks for the info on the oily part huntsman these guys are tough to find but close to the river, that's the only place I've been able to find them, is it usual for them to have the impurities in them?

I'd lean more towards chalcedony for these guys.

Yes, just the same as when many other Gems and crystals develop in an environment with impurites and/or loaded with other compounds/compositions.
