Hello CW... Can anyone tell me (roughly) what these stones are? I know some stones are very expensive and rare and others are penny stones.. These came from a jeweler from the 1970's or 1980's I think. Thanks.
Mostly turquoise.

Here is page that show some if it . Torquise comes from different mines . I love it

How do you know if a piece you have it super rare (expensive) turquoise versus I guess penny turquoise? I have someone I am taking care of so I sort of need to know. Thanks! Any help appreciated!
I would not say any are worthless . They all have value as many mines have shut down . You need to take them to a gemologist as there are so many.
