The green translucent slab I believe is florite. Great find with all of them.

The second shot reminds me of Tahoma Jasper, but there are a couple better people on the board for that particular one. That first piece is stellar!

did a search for Tahoma Jasper and could not match it to the second shot...this stuff is green, light brown and some white and it feels very smooth at the touch (reminds me of Owyhee) and it has landscape pictures on it...both are the same.
Steve -- A friend of mine who rock hounded for 50 years was selling what was left from all those years of rockhounding. He let me come to his place and dig through some piles..I spent over 5 hours searching and found some of these pieces...Most of what's left now is just obsedian and lots of green river agates...which are still prevalent in that area.
Good luck everyone
Ozzy

the green translucent is most likely flourite. The white w/ speckles, maybe magnesite (I'm pretty sure not pet. palm though because the pattern does not look correct to me).
