Hello! I'm new to this site, and I've been collecting rocks/gems since I was a kid. I got some new ones from a museum yesterday. I've been trying to identify them but haven't gotten any ideas yet. I don't know if they're authentic, but I would still like to identify them if possible, so any info that anyone has would be a huge help!!

Id start at the source of where you got them, typically gift shops have rocks/minerals somewhat labeled.

I double checked with the place that I got the rocks from, and they only had some of them labelled. These were unlabelled and were grouped with other types of rocks, and the people working there did not know the types.

Just looking at them the light yellow, I'd call it smokey, one appears to be agate as does the purple colored one, its been dyed. The green one next to the yellow looks to be chryscolla and the last two green ones possibly malachite or jadeite material. A mixed bag but nice. My opinion.
