Yeah, pretty cool huh, it was all in this fishing tackle box with drawers in it. I also got 4 1lb bags of grit, 1 1/2 pound bag of polish and a 1 lb bag of plastic pellets, it all came with my lortone 1.5e.
Dont know what most of the rocks are but I guess I'll figure it out eventually

The red ones with a little yellow in it look like garnets. the dark green also looks like aventurine.

Great assortment of stuff there!
The color is a little off but I can us my imagination.
I just had to back up to the other room to see them correctly- 'BIG'.
The clear little crystals look like Topaz.
Looks like some ritulated Quartz in there too.
