Need help identifying rocks in my collection

[ascogin86]

Hello all! I am new to this forum and new to rock hunting. My grandfather was a geologist and traveled the world hunting rocks and minerals. I have inherited a good size collection and would like some help identifying some of them. If anyone knows what these are and could let me know it would be great!

1st - Welcome Aboard ascogin86!

2nd - If no one can identify all your "rocks" - you might consider posting your pictures on ROCKS/GEMS for more exposure...

Gold cubes I’d guess are pyrite

quartz, pyrite, large one looks like it might be wolfenite

Maybe a barite or a selenite

Thank you all for the insight and the suggestion to post in the Rocks/Gems thread. I remember when I was little going in the basement and barely having room to walk in the 500 ft² space and every rock and mineral was labeled with its name and where it was found. Now that I'm older I wish we kept the identification of these items and never donated the other 90% of his collection.
