I use to be pretty good at identifying crystals/gen stones, but I have some I cannot identify. They seem to appear like several different one in the book I have. Could someone help me with them? Sorry for so many images but my knowledge is not as tuned as it use to be.

Yes, I know this. But they are tumbled versions of their forms. I just thought someone here would know what they are. I have a number of books but find either no matches or multiple possible ones.

Looks like you may have to Go Pro and do some actual testing on the unknowns. Tumbled stones did not typically start as crystals. Often tumbled stones are massive. Agates, jaspers, chalcedony do not form xls.
This one is a banded agate (most probably dyed):
You might consider bringing them to your closest gem and mineral club once we can leave the house again.
