I got these on Amazon, $14 for 75 random stones. I don't have a good crystal book right now, so I would really love some help identifying these please!!

Maybe if you arranged them in a circle and in color coordination, then folks can say the one that is 2 stones clockwise from three o'clock is the yadi-yadi rock or the one at 11 o'clock is the whatever rock. Does this make any sense?
I see snowflake obsidian and quartz and jasper, and the blue ones may be turquoise but then that stone is frequently adulterated.

Sure I will rearrange them and re-post!! Yes some of them are clearly dyed (like the hott pink one, lol)

If you have any gem and mineral shops or shows in your area, they would also be a good resource.

Maybe these pictures will be more helpful!

More! It would only let me attach 3 pictures per post! And I can't get photobucket links to work!

23 thru 26 look like turquoise. 29 looks like azurite, and 61 looks like snowflake obsidian. I'll take a look on my laptop instead of my phond when I get a chance. The pictures are very small on the phone's screen.

ahh, numbering, good idea.
52, 53, 54...look like rose quartz
61...is snowflake obsidian
51...looks like red jasper, maybe 40, 41, & 50 also.
5, 6, & 7...look like quartz
35... looks like unakite, and does 36 look similar to 35? it might be the same thing.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help, maybe different angles and light...
I think like Snow said, go to a gem show, that would be the best resource.

Ok well from what I can see (and assume)
2 and 55 look like moonstones to me
the ones firebird said look like clear quarts.
21 looks like Jade or (if it has faint rings on it) it could be moss agate
51 to me looks like a carnelian (but I can't be sure)
24 and 23 look like turquoise to me?

What I find helpful is typing up the appearance of the stone on google and looking through images until you find ones that match your stones (it's what I do and it has worked perfectly). Sorry I couldn't help all that much.
