my guess is oxidized iron but it's probably wrong
you're more likely to get better answers by asking on c/Geology

Its probably iron but it looks darker than the usual rusty color.

It looks like druzy pockets coated in iron oxide. The pink stuff is probably just another form of silica, but it kinda reminds of of dolomite orbs.
