The green one looks like a variscite. They tend to be on the softer side especially the white areas. It can come from many areas so knowing that might help a bit!

If I had to guess, I would say the green stone came from CA or AZ because I purchased it from an estate sale where most of the material for sale was from CA or AZ.

if you look in my flickr you will see variscite from utah, it doesn't look like mine. Not sure what the green one is.

Take a look at ebay auction number 370070846145. This is what my stone looks like. Also, the estate sale I purchased it from had a lot of material from CA. What do you think? Plasma Agate?

It does look like the Plasma agate in that ebay auction. I'd say yes, that's what it is.

the green definately could be plasma. the brown sections, are they almost kind of "stringy"? And maybe almost gold colored? If yes to both then I strongly think plasma.
