As I sent before the pink is dolomite the white clear is calcite and I believe the small metallic crystals will be chalcopyrite on closer examination.  I would say 95% sure on ID.  The location sure looks like Black Rock Arkansas material.  I'm sure if you mindat search for pictures you should see something very similar.

In addition,
( this may clarify for some ) the black rock site is in the Lawrence 
county "ZINC" district, which may help explain the fluorescent response 
activators...
