#2 #6 might be wonderstone. Sorry I can't be more help. Maybe @rocks2dust can help?

Agree with rhyolites for 2 and 6. First pic looks a bit like Rose Eye rhyolite. 3 looks like some sort of moss agate (is there any translucence?). 4 looks like some sort of dendritic massive quartz or agate (I've seen opalite/agate limb casts with similar patterns, too). 5 also has my brain scrambled. On one hand it looks like dendritic opal and agate from several locations, on the other hand those pillowy white blooms look like something else. Something familiar about it, but cannot put a name to it.

#1 Indian Blanket jasper from Utah, actually an opalite, but we call it jasper #3 Fancy Jasper from India - Bloodstone is a variation of this -when it's full green background with red spots. Lynn

I was thinking 5 was an Aussie opal as well. With some, of what the Aussie purists call, impurities. I love it.

Here's a slab of Fancy jasper from India that I cut a few years ago. I love the range of colors & the "waves", similar to your photo #3 letitridek . It even has some agate fortifications. Lynn
