Re: Stone Identification
Photo 1: pretty positive, not 100% sure, but I think it's prehnite. Don't quote me on that one, though - there are LOTS of green minerals out there.
Photo 2-5: all agates. The colour differences are due to ink being injected into the crystals. That colour blue isn't natural.
Photo 6: agate, or jasper.
Photo 7: (left to right, going clockwise) blue-dyed agate, amethyst (or moss agate - it's a bad photo), agate, tiger's eye, honestly can't tell what the crystal with the lens flare on it is, and the little blue one is moss agate. Can't see enough of the one in the corner for identification.
Photo 8: amethyst, and rose quartz.
Photo 9: more agate.

Re: Stone Identification
At the risk of disagreeing with a professional geologist (yikes!), I will suggest that there is a possibility that the blue agate in photo 7 is natural, and called Blue Lace Agate:

But you made me realize something - the one I said could be moss agate - I was wrong, it's blue lace. For some reason I thought moss agate was the light blue one (because, you know, moss is blue...)
Otherwise, I agree with Perz - that blue isn't natural.
