Much of what you purchased looks like what I am finding in my fields. CAnnot ID anything for sure, but watching to see what others say. #2 looks like some of my fossil coral finds.

I don't think I have finished any yet.

The plagioclase crystals are pretty good size so this would have been from deep in the magma chamber allowing for slower cooling and thus larger crystal growth.

# 2, 7, and 9 look like conglomerate and/or breccia(angular edges) and # 2 might be unakite.
