I went with a friend here to a rock shop and to a person's house who is selling off some of her rock the other day. We got some good rocks but the people didn't know what a few of them were so I told her I'd ask on here and see if I can get any identifications. #1 close up of #1 #2 This one is greener than it showed up in the pictures I took. I am thinking Serpentine but the spots are what make me wonder. #3 I know this is a poppy jasper but would like to narrow it down if possible. I was thinking Morgan Hill but I am not for sure. I have checked into this one and now thinking it could be Guadalupe poppy jasper. #4 This one looks like it has pink shells imbedded in the matrix. #5 This looks like amethyst and crazy lace combined. The lace pattern is in shades of purple and the crystals are amethyst. #6 This is some type of jasper and the pictures don't seem to want to come out clearly but I figured I'd ask and see if any of you might be able to give some hint of location. Thanks in advance.

Poppy Jasper is Guadalupe Poppy. Last one looks to be Rainbow Ledge ( Rainbow Ridge) jasper agate. Purple one looks to be Sowbelly Agate from near Creede, Colorado.....Mel

the one with the black matrix (basalt?) that has the pinky radial forms in it is possibly thompsonite. my reference says the enclosures are usually smaller than the end of your thumb.
