Hi, it is very hard to classify raw stones without holding them in my hand. Pictures are great, but only for certain things.
The two patterned pieces look like pressed glass that an apprentice made at his first attempt.
Som of the other stones have jasper and quartz looks, and perhaps a piece of molten lava.
Your best shot would be to find a lcal Lapidary Group, take the stones there and let the experienced rockhounds tell you what you have.
Good luck, Erica 😄

the blue stone looks like lapis lazuli, the big clear one looks like quartz, the yellow one could be citrine (quartz again) or glass. It would be very nice if the green one is jade.
