Admittedly I don't know what all of them are. Some, like the white quartz with the green streak at the top, are ones I picked up as a little girl, most though are from a bag of random rough I bought off Amazon when I first bought a rock tumbler. (I started with a Nat Geo until it broke down on me. I'm now using a Chicago Electric but I've ordered a Lortone.) And the two pure white ones - well, those are actually landscape rocks that were in my vegetable garden. I guess whoever owned the place before my parents bought it had those little white landscape stones at some point. Even after years of owning this place we still dig them up from time to time. If you want to see the photo larger I also have the original uploaded to Flicker.

I like the green rectangle one just below the center of your picture. First glance it looked like a tourmaline.

It's one of the mix rough that came with the NatGeo tumbler I made the mistake of buying. It didn't polish the first time around so when these loads got to the polishing stage I threw it and a few others that didn't polish the first time but did smooth out in. They came out nice and shiny this time.
