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.

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