There is some really nice higher end material in that parcel. Nice find, and depending on purchase price you may have really done well.

Wow!!! I see some really nice stuff in there. Some have been mentioned, but it looks like you have a nice hunk of chrysoprase, too. Lots of yummies to go through. Have fun!!

Yup, I agree with all of that! Except #29 might be adventurine, and I think a bunch of the "chrysocolla" could be malachite. Hard tell from these pics though.
