I'm not sure if the first picture is Tourmaline, corundum or something different. They have a lot of flaws and inclusions.

The second picture is listed as Ruby Corundum in Chrome Diopside Matrix. It looks correct and could fetch a decent amount of money to the right person. Where did you get them?

 

[hawttdawgg]

From a garage sale, a whole bunch of randoms. Packaging looks really old. Seller did not know anything about them.

Well, that's good for you. I would take that corundum and any other good looking specimens to a registered gemologist and get a positive identification!

The upper pictures are watermelon tourmaline and might fetch a good deal with a gem cutter. The ruby specimens will be worth something to a collector and its good you have a tag for them. Nice finds from a garage sale.
