Healing stones and crystals

I got some random stones, which I'm having quite a hard time identifying...
Here's one photo:


Here is a link to 3 other pictures so that you can see them in a bigger resolution and with different light and background.

I think the one in the upper right corner is a snowflake obsidian,
the one in the upper left corner a rose quartz (and the small one beside it looks also like some quartz),
the one in the lower right corner a black obsidian,
but I'm pretty unsure about the others. :unsure:

If anyone has some guess about the rest or can correct me if I'm wrong with the ones that I'm suspecting, I'd be happy. :)

To see a world in a Grain of Sand,
And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,
Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand,
And eternity in an hour.

The two under the rose quartz look like a type of lapis lazuli, the red one in between the obsidian and snowflake obsidian looks like garnet, but the rest all look like forms of quartz to me.

Hmmm... I'm pretty sure those two blue stones aren't lapis lazuli because lapis lazuli usually has fine golden streaks in it. I think those two are probably sodalite. I agree with you on the red one that it's a garnet. I think the red one beside it is a red jasper...
I'll try and take the rest to my local specialist store and see if they can help me identify them. The two white stones in the front have like some kind of foliage in it, can't really describe it any better...
Thanks for the guesses, if anyone has some other idea, don't hesitate to post you thoughts! :)

That's not a problem, and yes I just double checked my books the blue stones probably are sodalite, I just couldn't tell whether they have pyrite in them or not.

Those in the picture I've picked up in a shop somewhere in Austria a long time ago...

If you need crystals, you have a good specialised shop in Zagreb called Nova Arka, and there is that esoteric fair in Pula, but I can't remember on which dates it's usually held becasue I rarely have the chance to attend.
