3rd photo. That is very awesome. Jasper and quartz?
4th photo. Basalt with holes? I have a similar one with a large hole that my G-Grandfather found in Rusk County in the late 1800's when he was clearing farm land. It probably was used for tanning hides, as it has a semi-gloss finish. In both the 1970's and more recent, archaeological experts attributed it to that. Your might have been used for something in the past as well. Will PM you photos of my specimen.
