moss #2 has a Horse Canyon look to it. Maybe #3 as well. Bet Mel Sabre52 can pinpoint the locations.

Thank you guys for the input on the ID, I believe Roy is correct, I forgot all about the Ochoco moss agate types. My favorite of the group I got is the bigger of the 3, moss1, must weigh 10+ LBs. It doesn't beat the super bright blue/green moss/tube agate though, I'll have to post those another time.
