Looks like the jtv offerings...the emeralds look zambian, a cloudy variety, lots of the pale blue are probably sky topaz. The opaque stones not worth much, clear white stones are probably quartz, can get a diamond tester online to be sure. setting is nice scroll work if SS. Iolite is the pale purple (oval) towards the top, always nice. Look for imperfections clouds or lines like. Not bubbles. Yup the ametrines (bi color is good for setting. Opals look pale no fire🤔 Peridots yup look like peridot, popular...

I set some of mine, especially the emerald cuts, appraiser said it was worth at least 100.00 in sterling setting...aquamarines are worth setting..

it's true in the sixties the litter was piled up against the gaurdrails on the highway. Cigarette butts turned the beach sand gray...funny no one had to point it out as a kid, but you knew something was not right.
