The first unknown looks like an atypical piece of Rocky Butte. Don't have a guess on the last one but I've seen similar rhyolite/wonderstone type rocks......Mel

No, it is NOT mozarkite. Looks more like ryolite. Have some, but haven't slabbed it yet. The unakite make great knife handles, too. Can't wait to see if the australian agate will make great knife handles. Getting some from Mary Ann. Ken

That is a really nice piece of unikite and I have to agree, that last piece looks like a rhyolite mix there. Is it a bit on the soft side? Fran

I got a chunk like the first one recently, and my friend told me it was Autumn Unakite, because of the orange in it.

My guess is Durango Paisley - but thats only because of the color. The pattern isn't clear. I have a 10 lb chunk of Durango.
