Hmmm Not to many purple agate types with dendrites. First one may be Burro creek. Even though it looks a little unlike any examples I have, I can't peg what else it might be. Second is definitely a form of Mexican crazy lace and the last appears to be Aussie dendritic opalite

I was going to say dumortierite for #1, but after enlarging it, I don't think so.

That purple jade from Turkey is, I believe, a quartz/.Jadeite mix, Not super expensive but man I have trouble polishing it *L*. At least the slabs I bought. Maybe with more quartz it would work up better.....Mel

The first one looks like the Burro Creek stuff I have.

Hello, for me it looks like an opalescent fluorite, found in Thomas Range mine, Utah. Place it under UV-light, most of them have a strong fluorescence.
