Looks like a geode filled with dogtooth calcite ( aragonite) or, if it's really heavy, the crystals might be golden barite which looks real similar but is massively heavy.....Mel

6.8 lbs 7" x 7" by 4" I think it is Golden DogTooth Calcite. Still trying to figure it out. Thanks,

Pretty piece! Looks like calcite to me. Give it a hardness test and an acid test to be sure...
