Guessing

Olá César,

1st pic: I think the first one is a Matucana madisoniorum. The picture is kinda tricky because it was taken from the top and is a spineless one, just like the ones below.

2nd pic: Copiapoa humilis
3rd pic: At first thought it was a Parodia but I think it looks more like a Rebutia, possibly a Rebutia minuscula or a Rebutia senilis var. lilacino rosea. Hard to know just by looking at this picture, but these Rebutias are often grafted like this one.
4th pic: Copiapoa cinerea
5th pic: Copiapoa tenuissima
6th pic: Copiapoa tigrellensis

Again, I could be wrong, don't hesitate to seek a second opinion. It looks like you are really interested in Copiapoas. If so, ask a Chilean enthusiast, I'm sure they know a lot about this genus.

Good Luck,
Sonia (currently away)
