Here are some more! I wish I knew who the artists were.
The left-most is melon shell. I’d like to know that kind of shell the 2nd left one is (with the turquoise). It is so silky. The other long one is olive shell. And the right-most is stabilized turquoise.
The stabilized turquoise one has always confused me a little because clearly the beads aren’t perfectly graduated. Was it made from spares? Was it at one point re-strung? Were they machine beads? I just don’t know.
Here are some turquoise pieces. From the collection my husband calls “Why do you have so many of the same necklace?” He just doesn’t see it 
. The innermost one is stabilized Sleeping Beauty. The outermost one is natural - I’m not sure what type of turquoise it is but it very much reminds me of Nacozari and has many pyrite spots. The rest are mystery turquoise to me.
