Can someone identify some stones for me?
If I post a pic, is there someone that could identify some stones I have?

.
Best bet would be to take the crystals to a metaphysical shop near you where people know about crystals. Or, if there isn't one close by, email the photo to a shop (preferably that sells them on the premises), and ask them.
(P.S. My guess for the bottom row/far left one is ametrine, a combo of citrine and amethyst; the orangy tint gives it away, but most people mistake it for amethyst )

Unfortunately there isn't any places like that here. I've had these stones for years now, just decided to be curious about them since I re-found them arranging stuff for my upcoming move.

the top row looks to be mostly quartz the bottom row the purple ones are definitely amethyst, the brown looking ones on the second row are either general rock/pebbles sometimes referred to as river rock only these would be rough and no kept in water for very long if they ever were or they could be extremely rough jasper stones that haven't been cleaned and polished yet.

On the top row, I think you have some clear quartz, moonstone, and topaz. The big purple crystal is amethyst for sure. I think you have some rubies. I'm not sure what the others are

Re: Can someone identify some stones for me?
Moonstone is going to be more white than clear. Topaz is clear, so it actually may be clear quartz...can't tell too exactly because it's a picture lol. You can determine that by viewing this picture of topaz on this website: http://www.natures-energies.com/topaz_clear.htm

The moonstone would also have a flash (turn a bright gray or blue in the light when you move it back and forth.) if the stone is more of a cloudy white it would be milky quartz.

Top row could also be clear calcite.
Bottom row first one on the left looks like ametrine. Second one could be purple fluorite or amethyst. The others looks like mixed rocks until the last one which looks like purple amethyst or smokey quartz. Really can't tell from the pics these are just guesses.

Looks like quartz in the top row.
Citrine in the bottom left maybe?
