Here is the 2nd installment of the rough I picked up from a storage unit! If you know what they are, shout it out!
1. This has some fractures in it, so I don't know how well it will cut. It looks a lot like petrified wood from Arizona, but there is no "bark" anywhere, so it is either from a very big tree, or is "just" a colorful jasper of some kind.

2. Some more petrified wood

3. The picture doesn't show the purple too well, but this looks alot like some rough I have from Mexico. I think it was called "royal purple agate" or something similar.

4. This is definitely petrified wood

5. No idea what this is! The outside is a brown crust, but the inside is a transparent deep golden color. Almost looks like fire agate, but I don't think it comes in pieces this big.

6. This one was labeled "Australian Stone" with the middle word illegible. First pic is the face cut, the second is the rough, back side. Looks like petrified wood to me.

7. Some moss agate

8. These next 3 pics are all of the same piece. I know I've seen this before, but can't put my finger on the name. There was an even larger piece of this there, but it was too big for my 18 inch saw so I left it.

9. This has a wood-like pattern to it, but I don't think it is petrified wood.

10. A rather large partial geode. I had to get it because of the bright red

11. Unknown. The area on the bottom left is translucent

12. Another moss agate

13. Unknown. Reminds me of a red version of Norena Jasper.

14. Mookite?
