This is what I'm cutting up tomorrow The green and white agate I think is Horse Canyon? At least its similar to what I can find The pink/purple I have no clue The "sunset" looking one came from my dads friend. Its heavy for its size and solid! Thank you

Hard to tell, but 3 sort of looks like Quartzite with inclusions.

You have some nice pieces there. Should make some good looking cabs — especially the pinky- purple one.

I think Tela may be right on that purple-pink one. Looks like Chapenite to me, too.

I've been looking at chapenite and it looks like that may be it

The only other thing I can think of that has those colors is Tiffany Stone.

It's very smooth and almost "waxy" feeling.

One other possibility - Burro Creek Pastelite

Low grade mexican Morado purple opal agate is my guess for #3. I have cut a few cabs of Morado that looked similar and found it to be of uneven hardness but pretty. I also like cut several Burro Creek Pastelite pieces that show that color.
