Second one looks like mookaite. Don't know what the first one is.

I was thinking mookaite as well.
The first one is stunning. Have never seen anything like it before. Looks like a red jasper with a serpentine or green quartz inclusion. Possibly peridot as well for the green.

Green-Red Blanket for the first one? You can look up some examples and see if it matches your rough.
Agree with Mookaite for the second.

If that first one was uber soft it is the red green blanket. I think I sent you some. Not sure, though. It also won't polish.

If harder, I've seen some India Fancy jasper with those colors.
Agree with Mooka jasper for the second.

I have two slabs of red green blanket currently. Does it look much lighter in color when dry than wet? Red green blanket is really soft, super easy to shape with dremel.
