Can someone help me identify a mixed lot

[8thsinner]

I picked these up a few hours ago, all 20 for ten pence each.



In most case I have no idea what they are, or even the possibilities.
All came from africa.
Numbering 1-20, left to right from the top down.

I am pretty sure numbers
3 is lemurian seed crystal based on cross pattern striations
5 is golden tigers eye.
11 rose quartz (maybe)
16 I think is sea glass
20 I think is sea glass

My thoughts so far
1 I think is zebra jasper maybe?
4 has the same sort of shade as my chalcedony but linear patterns through it
8 I thought was amber but feels more like a mineral than a plastic using the teeth test.
6 has a prism like luminance effect much like labradorite, extremely pretty
17 has a prism like luminance effect much like labradorite, extremely pretty (type of tigers eye?)


Any thoughts on these?

I can get much more high quality pics when my internet stabilizes. Just ask for any details you might need.

I am now thinking number 2 could be ruby in zoisite..

10 could be pink opal maybe???

13 is a serpentine.It is a light one but I have one myself.

Thanks for that aoitha
I was told today that it is not serpentine, That's what I thought too, but beside a full jar of them it looks nothing like it.
Number 8 and 12 I have been told are both jade.
I always thought jade was green, but hey ho.
This is why multiple opinions are needed for this, so many options.
Many of them are agates apparently.

#7 might be a moonstone

#12 also looks like a bite like a carnelian

the colors on #2 make me think its a fluorite. i have one thats all green but there are green/purple ones too very pretty. thats all i recognize . great collection btw.

I have better quality pics taken, but I am waiting for better internet so I can upload them.
Number 2, is actually very speckly, I have a purpler fluorite and it's quite a lot more opaque than number 2. I was thinking ruby in zoisite. but the red is quite a bit darker than pics I have seen of ruby in zoisite.
Number 19 is as opaque as blue fluorite, but there is usually some other colours in it too, there is a very minimal green shift...So was thinking it could be topaz too.

Oh, here are some better ones. Net seems back on track a bit
