South England on pebble beach so probably chert/ flint

My first (known) weevil time???!!!

These are from one of those touristy "gemstones mining" places at a Pennsylvania caverns

My local neighborhood bonded pair, Speckles & Bubs, introduced me to their small bebé today! Help me name them 😁😁

These were gifts so the origin is commercial, bought in US i think. One or two i think might be glass? But the biggest one seems amethyst to me. Bonus unidentified swirly purple rock (not amethyst) at the end, too.

Hi there! (Reddit didnt want to upload all my images at first. Here they are.)

Id love some help better understanding my little collection. Most of these were random finds or gifts over the years. A few came from one of those "pan for gemstones" places in the US. I'm located in Sweden but I'm pretty sure the interesting ones are were acquired commercially anyway. I'm pretty sure on a few but any ideas on the whole list would be very welcome! Let me know if you want a closer look at any in particular.

So I ran an empty hot cycle with a machine-cleaning tablet. This is about 15 minutes in. On one of three machines 😬😬😬 I'm going to have to mop suds off the floor, arent I?
