Answer 1

They could also be "faux" stones made from polymer clay rather than real stones which have been cut and polished.

If you're interested in seeing how that's done, and links to examples, etc., check out this page at my site:

(...particularly the categories called Jade, Agate, and Quartz)

Beads made from polymer clay can also be given a high gloss finish if desired by using one of several liquid gloss finishes, or by sanding then buffing with an electric buffer of some kind:

Answer 2

1st one is jade, not sure about the others

Answer 3

The first one most likely is dyed agate.

The second one is hard to see well enough, but there are several varieties that come in this particulair shape.

The third one is mukite. (spelling? - it's pronounced "moo - kite")

All three can be purchased from www.firmountaingems.com

I have ordered from Fire mountain many times and they are reliable and really nice.  They also give discounts, when you order larger quantities.

Answer 4

uuh, I have all of those in my backyard pond. i don't bother to know them.
