Thought this was pretty cool! This was interesting! I have a piece of this I am polishing. This is what the rough looks like. Thanks again - Donnie

I believe the second one is wavelite.
Not a mineralolololologist but I that's my guess.

The first one might be serpentine.
The second one is wavellite (with two l's). The acicular spherical crystals provide a pretty positve i.d.

The last one looks similar to what is called "Apache Gold" any idea where it is from? Could help id. That second picture is really cool. I agree with the wavellite id on that one. The first one looks more like some kind of jasper. I think serpentine tends to have some white in it. Just my opinion.
