I think the top one is pet wood, wife disagrees. No guess on the bottom slab.

Beautiful slabs! I would guess the first is a gary green and the second is a mookite. Gary green commonly has those fractures and pits in it and mookite is very hard. Fran

Wait, I could be wrong on that second one. Could be Hickorite. Fran

The bottom one is Rhyolite. People call it candy rock, wonderstone and hickoryite but in the end it is all rhyolite. Comes from 4 known places. Nevada, Utah, Durango Mexico and New Mexico. I own a mine called Candy Land. It is the mine that some of the New Mexico candy rock rhyolite comes from. I have tons of it. There are several other areas in New Mexico that it can be collected. The stuff I mine is nice, takes a great polish but hard as heck. Enjoy, they are both nice slabs.

I got a question on the hickorite or rhyolite variation when it breaks it not conchoyidal ? but as tendency to just chip if that a fair description Thanks Ed
