Default Gemstone Identification

The purple ones appear to be amethyst, the gray with shimmer are
labradorite, the opaque blue are turquoise or turquoise-dyed howlite.
The clear is probably quartz, the red is coral, probably dyed bamboo
coral, the brown may be agate or tiger-eye (hard to tell). Dark green is
either an agate or a jadeite.
