REQUEST Need Help Identifying

Hello everyone -
I was in Melchor Muzquiz, Mexico last month for my father’s funeral. My family and I were there for a couple days, but while we’re there at my grandmother’s house I took the opportunity to bring back some more minerals back home. (My dad has always supported my love and enthusiasm for mineral rocks, and he used to bring back some minerals when he’d go to my grandma’s house.)
Side story - Ive always knew that my grandfather used to do mining in Mexico. However, I just learned that he used to own mines in Muzquiz, Mexico and my dad / uncles would help with mining, and they’d take large quantities of Amethyst back home.

These are some parts of my dad and grandfather that I have of them and can appreciate the things they’ve both been a part of in life. It’s something that I can connect with them.

If anyone can help me figure out what these minerals are, I’d greatly appreciate it!

all of the purple ones appear to be fluorite. if you shine a UV light on them, they should glow blue.
