Could it be Rose Quarts. Just taking a guess.
 

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 !
