I broke open a boulder that looked on the outside like picture number 3, and found an orange sort of crystal rock inside. Anyone know what this is?

@Thespockmarket,
do you live in North Carolina or in New Mexico??

I have several ideas but the location will aid in ID. Also, the pics are pretty poor quality(too small) and perhaps the color is a bit off?

@Thespockmarket,
1 and 2 are definitely lepidolite so Im guessing your somewhere in the Southwest. The rest are too mall to id and Id like a closeup of their patterning. They could be several things if you found these all in roughly the same area.
