you dont have to name them all but just a couple would be nice or a website that could give me the answers of some of them. k thanks.
Most of the minerals on your list can be many colours, the different colours caused by different impurities in them.
For example, quartz can be a wide range of colours, and 2 others on your list, amethyst and citrine, are both types of quartz. Both get their colour from iron, and if amethyst is heated it becomes citrine.
Beryl is another gem that can be various colours. Green beryl is emerald and gets its colour from chromium. Aquamarine is pale blue beryl and gets its colour from iron. Morganite is pink beryl and gets its colour from manganese.
Silver and gold are both elements, so they’re that colour because that’s how they reflect the light.
Trilobites are a type of fossil so their colour will depend on what rock they are in.
If you google them you should be able to find out which elements cause the different forms of each mineral, or look on wikipedia.
