Can you help me identify these crystals?
Hi guys, I'm having trouble trying to categorize these crystals I've collected through the years, I hope someone here has the experience to help me shed light on this, thanks in advance.
1)
Could this be real turquoise? I am skeptical, and I don't buy these kind of stones 'cause I can't recognize them, but this arrived, and as you can see in the hole the part that has to be pyrite is not present, but I prefer to have other opinions too.
2)
I bought this for being a Lapis, but the more I spent time with it, the more this changed color, I started thinking it is something dyed, the color looks solid and deep blue, no shine, no shimmering. In the beginning it hadn't got any cracks.
3)
No clue, the cracked blue/teal may be dye, don't know!
The other It was selled for being moonstone, but I'm actually having hard time believing is, as my others have very soft and silky look, and that is more edgy with rainbow shine, is resembles more a labradorite, but the flashed inside are very very little.
4)
For the transparent one, no clue. It feel like--plastic like very very light
The other has a higher specific weight, look light orange-yellowish color, very very light. I don't think is quartz, is more fine tubular structured, sorry for bad english, this big piece is identical to this little one, hope the picture could help.

I've got this chips for a while, but until I don't know what these are I don't feel like using them, maybe you could help.

Stones ids
Last 3 pictures of "aka little one" is cerussite, a lead carbonate, can be clear, dirty milky, yellowish, white, but giveway is how crystal growth looks like is unlike anything I know of except cerussite and second giveway is weight for their size, sometimes iridescent too.
(adamantine lustre)
Can be used as crystal but wash your hands afterwards.

Dear Nikki Draven
1) Could be dyed howlite or real Tibetan turquoise
2) Sodalite tumbled rather than Lapis
3)The white ones just might be rainbow moonstone or quartz with rainbows.Its likely a variety of moonstone.
4) The orangy white and white ones with lines running through it might be a variety of Selenite/ Gypsum
5)Does not look like serpentine whose surface has distinctive roughness and some browny bits but you can feel and tell. This could be moss agate.
7) Looks like Himalayan aquamarine to me
Do let us know when you find out:)

Wow ! You sure have your work cut out for you/us. The one that feels like plastic, the clear one, it sort of looks like clear tourmaline ( I know it's not tourmaline I'm just describing it ) I really like that one, something about it.....
The first picture of the green stone, certainly looks like turquoise to me. I agree that the one moonincancer says is not serpentine, I believe that is a correct assessment. I have actually recently seen this stone in person, and it looks somewhat different to me. I saw it at a craft fair, and I wasn't interested in the sellers craft, I was interested in the stone he had and was using it to place his wares on.
