From what I can see of the enlarged picture, it looks like some kind of quartz/quartzite. Have you tested the hardness yet? What is the overall size? Where was it found?
There are some really knowledgable people on here, but we need some basics, please! We'd love to help you out.

well i have a piece of quartz and it barely scratched it and broke tiny little pieces off of the quartz. I'm not sure of its origin it was a gift from a friend that there is no telling where it came from but i'm guessing in the mountains of cruso north carolina but like i said with him there is no telling. i have more pictures of it but i haven't figured out how to post all of them yet...

I'm betting on massive quartz--off white quartz with pinks and purples are real common here, and it is very similar.
