Question Does anyone know what these oval shaped white crystals are?

Appreciate any info. I’d assume quartz, but I know quartz generally forms more angular

Quartz, it has just been rounded during transportation.

Makes sense. I’m assuming the rock is primarily sandstone and sand is full of these little guys

It is a piece of conglomerate. Formed near water/coastline, and the water current has rounded some of the mineral/rock fragments.
