That first picture seems like a piece of Smokey Quartz or maybe its just dirty?

The first few pics could be quartz, but remind me of gypsum. I am unsure on an ID for those. The last pic in the tin? Looks like some NICE opals!

Looks like selenium to me, a mineral related to gypsum, and as IAMZIM says some nice opals.

Gypsum is the mineral (hydrated calcium sulphate) and selenite (not selenium) is a particular series of crystal forms of that same mineral.
