I was digging for chrystals and gemstones, and came across these stones.
I think there opals, maybe mountain they were with a Chrystal bed of white, blue,pink and quartz.
I think there is fire opal too, not sure if anyone knows for sure let me know.

Although it is hard to assess some rocks, stones and gems from pics, it appears that the rock in pic #1 and the rock in pic #8 (3rd from the left in the 3rd row of pics) may have a form of Opalized Quartz in and on them called Girasol. Can't tell much about most of the other rocks but there appears to be a couple of pieces of Rose Quartz as previously mentioned. If you can clean up some of the specimens and post close-ups, a better assessment might be possible.

A bit hard to tell from the pics, but I'm not really seeing opals here - maybe varieties of agate ,quartz ,other ? Not sure , rockhounding is a blast though , happy hunting !
