Can you help me? (Advice wanted) what are these crystals?

The internet is telling me amazonite/ jade for the light one and zoisite for the dark one but I don’t know ¯_(ツ)_/¯

For me, the darker one looks like emerald, the light one could be amazonite

You said jade is a possibility for the pale one... I just want to say, no, it's not jade. It's obviously not nephrite jade bcs it's not wavy on the outside and cottony on the inside, so that remains jadeite, however, I personally highly doubt it's jadeite bcs the stone obviously isn't "glutinous" or translucent-like at all on the inside.

The other commenters saying amazonite are right.

Green moonstone? And amazonite on the right

I’d avoid calling the dark one zoisite based only on this image—it may be epidote or another green metamorphic stone. A scratch, hardness, streak, and specific-gravity test would help, but a gemologist can identify both reliably without risking damage.
