ID would be easier if you said what state it was found in. I think s couple are calcite. That last pic is a keeper though that's for sure. Probably no monetary value, but just the uniqueness of the different minerals on one rock is awesome. I'm sure someone here will be able to give you better info, though it might take a few days for them to respond.

The first 4 specimens look like saphralite, a zinc ore. But I have my doubts as I've seen similar material in Arizona around tungsten mines.
The next 5 are gypsum crystals. The larger bits are commonly called desert rose same with photo 11. photo 10 and 12 are calcites.
photo 13 is a quartz cluster.
I'm having a hard time identifying the last two photo's, they appear to be the same rock. The last one might be worth something to a collector. I am stuck between thinking it might be wulfenite crystals, though they are not yellow, or just more gypsum. The host rock, like the first photo's, has me puzzled.
