Bigger images = better replies. You are using flickr. It's super simple to get larger images. #4 is almost certainly Llanoite - here is a sphere I made of this unique material

Bigger pics done, thanks for the tip. Can't seem to find llanoite info. Maybe another name for it?

I think the first one might be Leopardskin "Jasper" (really a rhyolite), based on the blob on the right hand end that looks like it has a "2" above it. If so though, then it is mostly matrix or intrusion, and not very much leopardskin. It would have to be quite soft to be this.
Number two we would locally just call "Jasp-Agate", meaning, something with the qualities of both jasper and agate or jasper and agate or jasper and/or agate, or something that looks like agate but smells like jasper, or jasper that was found on the ground next to a piece of agate. (Some of those are jokes).

The big grey splotch on the upper right side looks like some kind of metal in there (on the 1st one).

I especially like the second one. It has a cab or two hidden in it.

Local tumbling guy said the llanoite is worthless , but see many nice cabs from it. Seems it likes to undercut tumbling, so probably better suited for cabs.
