#1 could possibly be Mariposite. #2 is almost definitely Lavic jasper. #4 looks a bit like coprolite maybe, with that color combination.

#1 one was self hounded by an old member in Washington. It may have be a glaucophane or may have been a nephrite of some kind- she also hounded in CA sometimes.
#2 is definitely a jasper, but probably not lavic
#3 I want to say that came off of a type of flame agate slab, but I'm not sure.
#4 still not sure. Leaning on agate because I think that was written on the whole slabbette before it was cut. It was another from an old member.
#5 is really nice, but I have lost the name.

This helps a lot. Part of my learning process on correct names for things. I had label all of my jewelry tags with all materials used. Sometimes 6 or more specific stones, plus any metals.

I, at least, always want to know what the major category is. Like, jasper, agate, obsidian, etc. It's nice to know exactly what something is, but sometimes that's just not going to happen.
