A quick run thru.  People might have more clues also.

I screwed up and the pic has 30 as Rhodochrosite and it should be labeled Rhodonite!  The names are so similar, my brain was saying one thing while I typed the other.  Thanks Ryaly2Dogs for catching my error

Thanks for the reply, irock...I looked up that grape agate, very cool, although this piece is super-crunchy. Also, the blue slag, you're right, we have a bunch of this...looks like it came from here in KY...on park land, and no longer allowed to collect it.

Again, thanks...we're putting some names to some faces with your help.

Outside of a lot of the chalcedony, agate, jasper, chert spectrum, there are a number I don't know. But, think #18 is slag, 30 is rhodonite, 36 quartzite. 43, petrified wood??? Some nice stuff there.

Number 23 looks 100% like Ocean Picture Jasper from S. British Columbia!

Great thread, I'm looking forward to all the positive ID's.

I like petrified wood in wood furniture.
Picture Jaspers are my favourite.

Cave Creek Jasper from AZ was the other location I blanked on when writing for number 24.

I think 30 might be rhodonite as opposed to rhodochrosite; 36 I believe is Fuschite which some like to call Aventurine; and 38 looks like emeralds in dark gneiss.

No worries, all is good, Steve.  I figured you would have all of these nailed in about maybe 5 minutes?   :azn:
