I have a bunch of slabs that I can't identify so thought I'd ask here. Any help would be appreciated. These were from an old collection (more than 30 years old). They were already slabbed when I got them. These are shown wet to show the colors better. I have a lot more slabs but haven't gotten any more photos. I will be selling these so if I can get some id's that would help. Thanks.

Thanks Fossilman, I appreciate it. They are interesting colors so I didn't think they were all just garden rock but I could be wrong. Seems like the guy who slabbed them had his reasons for it.

It does look similar to the Atlantis but the slab is over 30 years old while the Atlantis is described as a recently discovered material. I was thinking wonderstone for that one too but it just didn't seem right. We have wonderstone here in Montana but it does not look like this so I didn't think it was wonderstone. It could be a type found somewhere else though. Thanks for the help.
