Does anyone know what these are? Just met someone whose son's G-Grandfather had over 2 million worth of rocks and equipment when he passed a couple years ago. Now this local, wants to learn more about the rocks and equipment he was able to purchase for very little. He also offered to let me use the equipment in exchange for helping him learn about the rocks and equipment. So, here is a rock photo he sent. I know nothing about where they were from, etc. I think I know what a few are, but others are stumping me. CAnnot wait to see the entire collection and equipment. Thank you.

I thought 6 was crazy lace and 4 might be Tiffany stone. Know some of this is pretty old.
Thanks for info on the others.

Is he going to let us all use the equipment and share the rocks if we provide info?

All I know is that he lives less than 30 minutes from me. He sent some photos of tumbled rocks and these slabs. Plus, photos of his side business making rustic stick furniture and stacked rock lawn ornaments.

Was wondering if 7 was chrysocolla. Thanks Don

looks like Don gets the prize. I would need a better pic of 1 & 4 to make a guess. Condor is the best guess for #5 though looking at the back may shed more light on it if it was clean.
