The first 2 are trash. You can send them to me....
Seriously, I'm guessing pet wood for the first one. Maybe some kind of jasp-agate below it. The last one is maybe nephrite. Not real confident about any of those guesses.
Where did they come from? Did you do any tests on them? Do you have the whole rock for pictures of the outside?

only have the slab picked them up at a yard sale they are all really hard except #4 which is a little softer they used to go to airizona a lot so probably picked them up there she thought #5 was some type of airizona jade from years ago which is no longer available i think nephrite for #5 seems about right thanks for replies

Could be way off on these, but my reaction...
1 does look similar to some Disaster Peak, but I seem to recall picture rock material that's a closer match from further to the northeast.
2 looks like agate in rhyolite similar to Rainforest from Australia (I've also seen similar from Oregon thunderegg deposits).
3 reminds me of the nodules from Utah's Yellow Cat area.
4 and 5 could indeed be nephrite jade, but if 4 is significantly softer, then I'd think serpentine.
