Hello Gemologists, I'm hoping you can help me identify these rocks that used to belong to my late father. He was an avid rock and gem hunter and had these rocks in his collection when he passed away.
There are purple, green and brown rocks that are all 3-4 inches in diameter and weigh about 1 pound each.
There is also a larger blue/green rock with striations in it that I think might be Amazonite, but I'm not sure if it could be something else, so was hoping for additional opinions or confirmations.
While he was based in Ontario, Canada but it's possible he collected the rocks from another location. I have posted photos of each of the rocks below. Many thanks in advance for any help!

Rather than speculate and possibly give you wrong information, may I suggest you bring your mystery specimens to your closest gem and mineral club and have someone view them in person. Exhaustive list here:
