Hello! I'm new to collecting and identifying rocks and crystals. I have some raw specimens and some tumbles that I'm having trouble identifying. Any help would be welcome!

Some of my ideas are:

5-sunstone?
6-green calcite?
8-fuchsite?
10-It was suggested that this was mostly calcite with lapis, but I was thinking it looked more like sodalite?
14-rhodochrosite?
20-more fuchsite?
22-apricot agate?
26-amazonite?
29-tiger's eye?

I can add more clarifying pics if needed.

New to this so anything I said would be bad guessing but I'm curious about what #7 looked like before tumbling? It's gorgeous and in the photo reminds me of Amber.

#22 looks a lot like agate to me... but then what do I really know about rocks? Not a lot. Very cool pictures though. Thanks for sharing.
