The greenish silver one is about as wide as the width of my pointer finger -looks very wide. The other one is a small pointy thorn lookalike purple in color.

We really need a picture to be somewhat sure.
Can you tip the plant so that the growth shows?

Yeah, it could be either from the description. Some roots start with a green/redish point before the silver starts showing.

A spike won't come to a point as such, it will have more of a mitten shape on the end, but when they are very small it can be very difficult to tell.

I will try to post pictures. It looks to me like a root and a spike on the side!
