There is a gemstone in there too, can you tell me what type it is? All the rocks on this page need identifying.

The first 3 look like agate which is microcrystalline quartz.
Rock 009 looks like Amazonite or crysacola.
Rock 030 might be azurite. Are there any green spots? Those could be malachite which forms with azurite.
The rest I just don;t want to venture on. Its so hard to do an ID on a pic unless its something very recognizable. Mineral and rock ID is very hands on. Take these to a local uni or a gemologist.

I also find that these photographs don't help with IDing the rocks. The rocks should look as big as they possibly can in a photo and the photograph should hopefully display all the colour tones that are in the rock, and should only look shiny if the rock is actually shiny.

perhaps agate, opalized wood, chalcedony, jade.
