Best guess, #1 & 2 the green is aventurine/quartzite. I should know the blue, can't remember. #3 the orange/brownish, more quartzite. #4 agate or jaspers. #5 agate, maybe a common opal, how hard is it. #6 could be the same, the crystals look more calcite like than quartzy to me, hardness can tell. #7 & 8, agate especially # 8, don't know which one. My best thoughts, probably someone has more.

The blue in #1 looks like apatite and agree on aventurine for the green.  #5 looks like Parral Dendritic Agate from Mexico.  The one in #6 is guaranteed to be Silver Lace Onyx from Calico Mountains CA.  #7 I have collected in the El Paso Mtns of CA and also in the mtns to the West of Rosamond CA.  at an area near the Tropico rd.  The whitish tubes in this material resemble transparent roots.  #8 is a flame agate, plenty of this material from Mexico and also the Cady mtns in CA.

The other pics aren't distinctive enough for me to give locations.

If it helps all of this was purchased in the 80's. I'll upload some higher quality photos from different angles :)
Again, thank you!

The "non-crystaline" part looks like the stuff a previously shown sphere was made of

The blue in the first pic is apatite and the green amazonite.

The White ridge on the second green from the left to me says Quartz and not amazonite but the others could be.

Oops, it's #6 that reminds me of the sphere shown earlier.
