Hi everyone,
 I have been interested in Lapidary and geology for quite some time and found out a few years back that my grandfather was a lapidist. I have received all of his rough, half finished projects, settings, etc. I never met him but i want to carry on his work and learn to master this craft myself. I've identified quite a few myself, but frankly, I'm having a pretty "rough" time figuring out the rest. These are just a few, any and all help would be greatly appreciated.

Images 1, 6 and 7 are fancy Bloodstone from India.
Images 2, 5 and 9 are Ruby in Zoisite
Images 4 and 8 are a Moss agate
Image 3  is a Agate with copper rich silica causing the Blue, I find material similar to this West of the Cady Mtns in Ca

Thank you! If its not a big deal I have much more rough which i need help identifying, all of it is from late 70's to late 80's

Gneiss material so far.

If you could resize your photos down to maybe 800x600 it would still work.
