A couple of years back I bought a car full of rocks, none of it was labeled, I've been able to identify most but have more than a couple that are proving more difficult. So the following 3 pictures are of ones I haven't identified. Pics 2 and 3 are the same type of rock but not of the same rock. It has a pattern like seraphinite not smooth tho it stands out from the base rock. Any help gratefully received. Thank you. Simon

Top one looks to be either light colored chrysoprase ( nickel chalcedony) or mtorolite which I think is colored by chromium. Last two might be actinolite crystals....Mel

Thanks Mel, I googled actinolite and it certainly looks like it. Didn't think of chrysoprase for the first one, mtorolite is a new one for me. Thanks again.
