Hi. Is it possible to photograph these on a completely white background? This will allow features to stand out and in turn, accurate assessments to be made.

How big is the clear one? Looks like glass but might be crystal.

Smoky quartz for the chip and a pebble of milky quartz. The pebble could remotely be a topaz but I'd have to know if the area is known for topaz and then chip it or make a window to see the interior.

Volcanic glass? Never seen obsidian so clear. Hehh....

The fracture pattern looks like it may be glass. See if you can scratch a glass window (just a small scratch) if you can it is probably a variety of quartz crystal.
