    Bought these at the end of an estate sale we did.
    The lady was a jewelry fanatic, but she had everything from Avon to the real reL (which most of it the daughter kept and it stayed in a safety deposit box.

    She knew nothing about these and no one really gave them a look at the sale, so I took a chance

    I know ones tigers eye and one amethyst..

    What do yall think about the rest?

    Probably smoky quartz and jasper/carnelian depending how translucent the red one is.

    Not glass

    I'd say top Smokey quartz
    Purple - amethyst
    Orange - carnelian
    Yellow/black - tiger eye

    The round one at the top is definitely garnet. The other two uncircleds could be more quartz.

    Shine a light through the large round stone and tell us the color.

    Take them to be tested, it's the only way to be sure!
