Could the second (green/white) one be Mariposite?

That doesn't look like any Mariposite I've seen. The green should be more bluish and more swirly.

I'm guessing rhyolite on the first one.

Thanks Ranger_Dave. Knew someone on here had a lot of experience with Mariposite, but couldn't remember who. We only have a few pieces, and this photo didn't really match to ours either. The only other green/white I could think of is some of the rough from India.

The only thing I've seen that comes close is some zoisite and thulite that I picked up near Exeter, CA. The white part has more pink in it than your piece. Have you put it under UV?
