If anyone can ID these, I'd appreciate it!

I was searching thru my rocks for something to feed the saw and came across this. The rock was already faced, which is the 1st picture. Before I scrubbed it off to get the oil off it looked a look darker and drabber. I was pleasantly surprised when I pulled the 1st cut out of the saw and looked the other side! (2nd pic). The 3rd pic shows another slab a little further into the rock.

For this next piece of rough, the blue really caught my eye. A nail won't scratch it so I am guessing it is something quartz based. The camera didn't really capture the wavy cloud like pattern in the blue.

It's great to be able to tap into the collective knowledge here! Apparently BC Ocean Stone is rather rare and pricey! Good to know if I sell some of the slabs!

It is pretty amazing! I wish the camera could show it better. It looks better than the picture in real life. I took the pics in full sun around mid day. Maybe I'll try early morning or late afternoon light instead so it is not so harsh

I took another shot at taking a picture of the BC Ocean Stone. This time in the morning so the light wasn't so harsh. Came out a little better, but still looks better in person. Added an additional shot of a slab a little further into the rough that has some dendrites in case the swirling blue wasn't attractive enough!
