#1 reminds me of prairie agate. Beyond that, I don't know.

I'd slab the first two. The red/white reminds me of Myrickite. The white one looks like a black tourmaline in matrix but picture isn't too clear. The pink could be lepidolite. Is it soft? I'd try to chip the brown one and see what's under the brown before cutting. I'd slice #6 looks interesting.

Howdy Ralph, always tough to ID rough from a pic with no scratch test etc. Just some ideas !. I'd agree on Prairie or maybe bubblegum type agate 2. Looks like common sard or maybe some type of flint 3. Sorry clueless 4. I'm not fantastic on crystaline minerals but looks like black tourmaline or maybe goethite or maybe acmite in syenite 5. Thulite 6. Looks metallic on my monitor like some kind of hematite in quartz. Just guesses *S*..Mel

Number 4 is probably Howlite or Magnesite ... faux "White Buffalo Turquoise". If you get slabs with nice spider webs, it'll make some pretty cabs.
