#2 - I've seen some pictures of Rhyolite/wonderstone that look like that, but not quite that soft of transition between colors. I don't know what #9 is, but it sure is pretty!

I was going to say what Sherry did, also I'd call 7 dendritic opalite.
As for 8 and 9- I don't care what they are called, PM me your price and mailing address and I'll spare you the hassle of IDing and posting them on Esty

Dang.
Someone ID #10, please?
I bought a couple of pieces from stonesthatrock and it is gorgeous!
stonesthatrock,
I'd interested in some of that picture jasper you have here, as well as #6 and #9. I can go some smaller than the pieces I bought from you, so long as one part is at least 4x4" in size.

oh my gosh those are lovely! I spent three hours last night watching tv and hand polishing one of the agate slabs you sent me. Used 600-1200 grit and it came out really shiny -- WITH the saw marks intact, though ROFL! So, hubby took me to Lowes and bought me a Work Force bench grinder today. I should have an easier time of polishing slabs as I really only need to remove saw marks for about 1-2" around the slab. Grinder is perfect. I'll PM you about these guys either later tonight or in the am. Eileen
