Welcome to Healthy Pages Blue Potion 🙂
I think:
1: Amazonite
2. Unakite
3. Quartz? (without being able to touch it or see it up close - could be many other things e.g. Topaz, Calcite...)
Actually, unakite isn't a crystal, it's a rock - an altered granite comprising the crystals quartz, feldspar and epidote.:)
You're quite correct Crowan - from a geology point of view unakite isn't a 'crystal' but from a crystal therapy point of view even amber, jet, petrified wood, Shiva Lingham etc. are given the generic title 'crystal' 😀 - it makes life easier even if it isn't correct.

Thanks, Meurighj. I guess I'm looking at it from a shamanic point of view, where knowing who the crystal, rock or (to quote me in a previous post) half-brick is. So calling a rock a 'crystal' is then like calling a Canadian 'an American' or a person from Scotland 'English'. 🙂
Thanks everyone, especially for meurighj 😉
I add a new link, of better pictures I took today.
The crystal in A is a yellow calcite for sure, and it looks so different from the crystal in B, there's something more dull about it, if you know what I mean.
Hopefully now you could recognize it better.

3 look more like Citrine to me but I agree without being able to see it properly it is difficult to tell
Looking at the second set of photos it does look more like citrine... Calcites to me tend to have a 'soapy' feel and are softer than quartz. You could try the scratch test to see where it is on Mohs scale of hardness, that may give you an insight.
Thank you all!
