That vein is cool. Hard to tel with a low res picture, but it could be agate. With the red surrounding it, maybe even fortification agate

Nice tumble. Chalcedony vein (micro-crystalline quartz), Basically the base rock (Pet wood? looks like it to me!) had a fractured that later filled with the chalcedony with different impurities (hence the red- usually iron and the blue bands). Makes for very cool effects!

Pretty cool material! Is that all of the whole tumble? Or maybe there are smaller rocks too? The one with the seem inside it appears to be an Agate of sorts. Some translucent Chalcedony of sorts. I would probably try to focus on highlighting that seem as it is really interesting.
