Some quartz and purple rocks

First thing that comes to mind is I need better pics.

These came from a resale shop via a storage unit.
There were a lot of nice larger specimens. I bought the smaller pieces in a lot for $15. About 10 pounds. Think it was a good deal.

Yep. The pics are bad. But now I know which direction I need to go for better pics.

Thank you for tolerating these.

In the first picture:  The gold is pyrite, the black and white (far left) is snowflake obsidian, the purple is possibly amethyst, the red and white (near the bottom) jasper I believe, and you have various agates in there.

The second picture: is all quartz crystals.  The technical term is "rock crystal" for clear (no color) quartz crystals.
