2 and 3 are likely banded iron formation (BIF) and will be interesting to see how they polish. 4 might be some sort of sulfide, but not sure how to get an ID from a photo on that one. 5 looks like material I've had from Wyoming and Colorado which was quartz + other crystals (beryl and feldspar).

I'd say the agate slice was worth at least $5 but no idea what any of the other rocks are.
