Soft -- hardness ~4, then could be form of fluorite
Hard -- hardness = 7, then could be form of quartz; from Diamond Hill, the quartz varieties seem to be a fair answer.

Anyone ever found any cacoxenite included quartz at Diamond Hill? Maybe that could be it?

Looks like a iron stained point covered in more quartz. Those are fairly rare at DH but are some of the neatest specimens form there.
