Are they jelly bean size or what?
Best to show something next to the stones to get an idea of their size.
As to ID-ing your items, I'd take them to a jeweler for his opinion.
What did your grandparents say they were?

They look like glass stones from the bottom of a fishbowl.

Regardless you should bring the stones to a legitimate jeweler given the family importance. How can your “jeweler” say they are gemstones yet have no idea what they are? There are better/more knowledgeable jewelers out there that will give you a real identification.

The fact that they are all roughly the same size and shape, and have been tumbled or polished, they do resemble decorative “gravel” for a bowl or planter. Hopefully I’m way off here!
