🔎 UNIDENTIFIED Here are some more rocks I need help with

[lisam72]

Any and all info will be greatly appreciated. This was a rock collection I got after purchasing a storage unit so I have no idea where they came from except for the ones that has info attached and these did not. The grey rock looks like a diamond inside the hole and the rest inside on the parts I can see are like dark grey and looks real looks like a ton of mini crystals cuz it sparkles (that cant be a real diamond right?, Also have alot of what looks like, and marked as, garnets. All different sizes. Also have a whole flat with what looks to be stones that have already been worked to be karat loose gems.
I dont know much about rocks at all so basically I just need to know if there is any value in this stuff, or if I should be looking for specific types in this collection? I just don't want to get ripped off. Anyway these are the ones that stood out to me. As I said I will be so grateful for any info anyone wants to share with me.

P.S. I have lots more so if you want to see more pics let me know

Lisam, considering how many different specimens you have it might be best
to look up a local rock and gem club, and meet with some of the members.

Identifying rocks in the hand is much easier than taking a WAG at a photo.

Thank you. I agree, unfortunately I live in a small town that has nothing like that. I was thinking next time I go out of town I would bring them with me and maybe find a place. Just thought I would try here and see what I get.

Rough guesses and am assuming, even though not next to each other, several of the photos are of the same pieces at different angles?

1. Quartz crystal in Dolomite from Herkimer NY.
2. Could be Gypsum, Calcite, Feldspar...etc
3. Pyrite
4. Cant tell...
5. Quartz (Rose Quartz if pink)
6 and 7 are various Garnets.
