Hoping someone knows what these are. 1. Fairly soft, say 5.5-6. 4.5" wide. First two photos are not true to color. Last photo, taken wet is true to color. 2. Fairly hard, say a 7. 4" wide. Again, first two photos are not true to color. last one is. I am getting better at ID-ing rocks/slabs, but these are out of my comfort zone. Thank you

Orbiculat rhyolite for the first one. The second is a rhyolte too and looks like the chrysanthemum or flowering rhyolite from Nevada. There is a redder form from Mexico called starburst rhyolite.
