Green garnet or really clean tourmaline, brown - do not know, possibly spessartite.

Then I think Imperial topaz , kyanite, purple garnet or sapphire, citrine or spessartite or mandarine garnet.

These stones are not what an average person would guess they are.

All of the gems appear to be a type of Topaz, or quartz.

The third appears to be kunzite, or the Dracula stone because sunlight will damage the color.

Demantoid garnet, hessonite, morganite, kyanite, iolite, spessartite

@windfall yes! The Blue one is in fact, Kyanite.

I'd like to change my guess on the first one to moldavite (though it looks too clean). Just like to be consistent ... now they all end in "ite"

Looking forward to the reveal.

Good guess! I forgot about this stone.... although tashmarines are little cooler tones... but pictures are never true.

@ECBGI agree, I think they are all colors of Topaz. Wish back in the 1970's, I would of bought a real November (birthstone back then) topaz.

@SANNA,It could be. I would think it is from the topaz (quartz) family because of the semitransparence. I was trained by a gemologist when I worked at Belks in Fine Jewelry. I was one of the highest sellers-then an asst. mgr made the mistake of threatening me over a toxic worker and I left.
