Need help with rock ID and if there is anything to them

Wanting info on rocks. This has veins and big chunks of purple and green stones. It's white and covered in silver pyrite.

Looks like simple quartz and mica to me.

Don't know those bits are round and globular.
Could be. Gotta crush it and pan it to be sure.
Looks a lot like the gold telluride I got by the American Eagle mine. We picked up shot rock.
On the way to Silver City.
Tiny dots of gold through out.
Couldn't get a good image if I tried. I did try.
Some pieces of gold came close to 1/16th "
Leeching is about the only way to most of the gold in telluride's.

I take it you mean Silver City near Aspen? I worked in lead-zinc mine in Leadville on the other side of the mountain. Spent 7 years there. We also had gold and silver as by products and one working area did have tiny native gold globules on the zinc ore at times. Problem was we couldn't recover native gold in our milling process so out the the dump it went. Did a lot of panning in the streams and gulches up there. Found some.

I found some in the Rappahannock River not much . Fun though. Found a little inthe creek at the bottom of my property. The amout of time and effort is not worth it . Go doe something else. Our gold club had access to rocky run and we always found some. Just below an old gold mine probably from theb1850' s . Gold vein Virginia. They have a nice park set up . You can by a bag that is seeded stuff and you will get some. If you don't know how to pan they will show you.

Can anyone tell me what this is....

Pretty much looks like a druzy quartz. Those are quartz crystals that are shiny.
