[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 401608, member: 2976"] Smaller one could possible be topaz (bit hard to tel from the photo). At topaz crystal that's still in identifiable crystal from will have four sides, unlike quarts crystal which has six. Topaz crystals typically have a cross-section that is a sort of compressed diamond shape. It's also much harder than quartz and you shouldn't be able to easily scratch it with a piece of quartz.
