Sorry, they were collected by my grandfather in the 70-80's. I inherited them in the mid 80's. So I have no real knowledge.

He traveled much hunting, no real idea. Thanks for looking though. Here is the first slice off the first pictured.

All are jaspers and agates. None seem to be distinctive enough to be pinned down to a mine or locality.

The second stone looks very much like Pigeon Blood agate from Utah. No suggestions for the rest.
