Some more fantastic pics of pics there.  I love the Medicine Bow and the lace.  Woodward is great backlit too.

Hard to tell.  Not one I can identify from the small sample.  But with the small spots of different shades it looks more like a conglomerate formation, doesn't have rough edges that would imply brecciation.  I have seen some Willow with small patterns like that depending on the cut.

Safossils, I believe the unknown pick is Rocky Butte jasper.

I got a small piece of this material in a box (actually a bucket) of rocks, and just guessed at Biggs. After a Google search, I think you're correct.

Many Thanks,
Walt
