I'm past the "good luck with that" point and could use some help. Thanks.

Hi Gary.

Slab "A" is Willow Creek.

Slab "C" maybe from the Cady's? That guess might inspire someone to give you a definitive ID. Probably from a completely different area... .

Something about slab "D" reminds me of Sci Fi / Exotica "Jasper". Except for the large area that's so different from the rest of it.

I have no clue about "B".

The two mosses could be from so many places. The rhyolite looking material sure reminds me of bullseye jasper from Goldfield, Nevada but Nevada has a lot of good rhyolite locations.

Thanks for the rhyolite suggestion. Google's image search recognized Slab D as igneous and yielded a couple of general links.

I agree with Vince that D resembles sci-fi jasper but it also does strongly resemble rhyolites from the west - Nevada, New Mexico, Utah.

B and C could be from just about anywhere in the west US, Mexico, or even Indonesia (dntknw)

The pattern in C reminds me of Riviera Plume agate but the colors ~~are wrong~~ aren't quite what I would expect.

Slab "D" does resemble the bullseye patterns in Goldfield/Gemfield rough, but the colors are different from the old-stock stuff we have.

There are several varieties of material available there, though, and I haven't seen any of the others.
