Identity HelpElba, very close together. Are they the same?

Elba, on pegmatite.

Locality Catri, Sant'Ilario in Campo, Campo nell'Elba, Elba Island, Livorno Province, Tuscany, Italy.

I wonder if these crystals belong to the same mineral species.

I also have an idea of what they might be, but (following the Jolyon's instructions) I prefer not to anticipate any comment.

Many thanks in advance.

Petalite assuming it has a cleavage, if not then distorted quartz crystals.
