Hello all!

The first photo shows a raised up red triangular gemmy crystal - no idea what it is! (1.5mm)

There are also a couple of sparkly clearish double terminated crystals growing in the 'crease', that appear to have a coating of hematite partly. approx 4mm long. The crystals appear to have a flat facet around the middle of the crystal. (Sorry, not very technical!)

The small triagular xl is also hematite in parallel growth with the main xl. The white looks like quartz?
