Here are a few im just not sure of. first one i think lookslike fossilized coral? ? This one has multiple stuff in it. looks like snow quartz, then clear,not sure what the pinkish orange stuff on top is but its pretty These last two I have not a clue The square on looks like clear quartz with orange streaks thru it thanks STeve

How soft are the bottom four? They remind me of calcite crystals...

I haven't sat down and tested them to see where they are on the scale but the first multi colored on is hard and comes apart in like chunks on the fault lines. no pattern in fault they go everywhere. same with bottom one except the faults are uniform and layered. the middle one all orange feels soft plasticey and light in weight.
i have about 40 lbs of rock to go thru.
Thanks

The first two are bubble gum agate...how about pink quartz for the rest?

The first is one of my wisdom teeth. Where did you find that? No, I agree, it is Thomsonite. I've collected it, no question about that one.

The last one looks like the quartz that I find but the color does not change fast enough to make stripes. I am far from an expert though. Jim

Hmm...Doesn't look like any Thomsonite I've seen, not that that means anything...
