Post fewer rocks at a time, it's a daunting task to look through them all. And I wont today - so I'll just point the obvious.

Many appear to be quartz or chalcedony. Chalcedony; 13-15.
#3 the green one is interesting. Do a hardness test, will quartz scratch it?

Those with red lettering:
#2 with the needle like crystals is interesting, to. A specimen, no gem.

#22-26 Might be calcite. See if they will react to vinegar. Will a knife scratch them? Test a ugly specimen.

the green one #3 can't be scratched with quartz or knife .. but it can scratch the glass

#2 with the needle like crystals is interesting, to. A specimen, no gem.

for #2 the red on with the needle .. do you want to try any thing ?

#22-26 Might be calcite. See if they will react to vinegar. Will a knife scratch them? Test a ugly specimen.

Good! #3 Might be tourmaline. Can't tell properly from the pic.
Go and search this forum for a post by Moesia on Mineral Identification. It'll help you grasp the basics.

#2 No, no testing. It'd be a shame to do any tests on fine crystals. I can't ID it, to many candidates, but I can tell you it's interesting.

Did #22-26 react with vinegar? I.e. bubble and fizzle. If so - calcite.
