"Stone" is a very casual term and shouldn't be used; refer to these as crystals or perhaps just a mineral. And for what this might be, my guess is mimetite!

I was thinking they could be Wulfenite crystals? I find some similar ones when I google images of that.

Actually that can also be a possibility, but wulfenite with tapering crystals is much less common than its typical flat "window-pane" crystals. So to be honest it'd be impossible for me to verify what this is from the picture alone. I'm just going by likelihood (educated guessing) at best.

I got a couple more photos of this, but I think that would still not be enough to tell what exactly they are

I looked at the photos, and they unfortunately they don't help much...

Do you have a locality for this? Any location.
Also, do you see other minerals or crystals apart from the yellow tapering crystals you're showing? (if so, a picture would help) Mineral associations help too.
