Those are really cool slabs gary. The gem owyhee looks like a landscape painting.
I'm the last person to try an ID a rock but the unknown green slab looks similar to a slab I got from someone on this board. I cut a couple hearts from it and it seemed a little softer than the typical agate/ jasper slabs I have cut but actually took a pretty good shine when tumbled with a mish mash of other stones.
I know you will do a great job with it

Great color and patterns in these, Gary! Is that first one crayola? There's going to be some nice pieces out of these! Looking forward to seeing them!

I think your green unknown is bird's eye serpentine.
Good looking group!

Nice slabs Gary. I think the green stuff is serpentine, I've got some pretty similar and if you were after me on the box it might actually be from me.
