From top to bottom
#1 appears to be an assortment of agates
#2 rock crystal quartz, the one on left has some pyrite crystals in its matrix
#3 Azurite nodules, the one on the left has a nice color to it.
#4 hard to make these out as they appear to have something attacted to them but I would say the one on left is a piece of agate and the one on right is pyrite.
#5 Pyrite crystals in cubic form, the two specimens in the boxes are on sedimentary matrix.
#6 hard to say for certain but I would guess them to be pieces of milky quartz.
As for worth, well theres not much value in these pieces other then to just have as specimens as they are common and readily available.
Out of the specimens you have there the one that might be worth a few dollars would be the azurite nodule to a gemologist, but not alot.
As an example here is a picture of an azurite nodule I picked up at a gem show a year or so ago and paid $40 for it.
