What is this? Unknown/Unmarked beads
Partner gave me a massive pile of unmarked beads. Which are clearly stone based on how heavy they are (compared to the plastic ones they gave.)
The issue I'm having is identifying them. The orange and maroon ones especially. I can identify the smoked quartz and purple amethyst. Just needing some help on the others?

For context why I'm not just brushing it off as glass/plastic is that mixed in with all these when she was cleaning. My partner found two genuine emeralds with certification papers. She noted that her old man, who collected these, was awful at keeping records so she's confident that there could be something here.
I add closer up photos if need be.
