Hmmm, well, IMO there's nothing wrong with selling rocks labeled as "mystery rock". That's much better than guessing or taking someone's word for what a rock is, and then finding out they were wrong (been there). My suggestion would be to sell the three "mystery slabs" together, as a single lot, giving a good deal on the lot. That way you only have to package and ship one box (or maybe a flat rate envelope), and the buyer will feel good about getting a deal on three unusual, pretty slabs. Although you may not make quite as much by selling them individually, it's always important to keep in mind that every sale is a possible new on-going customer, and that first impressions are very important. The deal you give today could mean more money in your pocket later, perhaps even on an on-going basis. The majority of the money I make from Chrysocolla is from established customers.

#1 looks a little like Mariposite; #2 is the purple tint real or an artifact of the photo? If real then I'd say Burro Creek otherwise looks similar to Snyder's Ranch dendritic.
