Not a rock hound but I have watched a lot of Gold Rush and other mining shows. So in my expert opinion I’d say really nice pieces of quartz that should have some real value!
Hopefully someone who really knows will chime in. I’d bet someone on here does!

Looks like MICA to me.
I was thinking the same thing but it looks too thick and there's that yellowish tint.

Just looking, it looks like selenite, which is crystalline Gypsum. Is it soft enough to scratch with your thumbnail? Also, asbestos can look like that. One piece looks very fibrous.

So I think from what I’ve came up with is it might be selenite I agree.. but it’s weird how some are all white and some are Smokey grayish coloring that one piece is close to the size of my hand I’d say… and it’s got the little shards growing the opposite direction out of each side pretty need for finding them in South Dakota

Cool picture. I could see myself spending a few hours exploring that bank!
Selenite. Soft, vertical lines called striations
Quartz crystals. Hard, six sided, horizontal striations
