More stumpers from the "bag" find

[The Sarmy]

I'm uploading a couple more of the weird rocks I found in a bag of rocks from Home Depot.

The first one I think of as the Dalmatian. The funny thing is, it's sort of furry when you feel the surface.

The second one was partially uploaded on my first post.

The last one appears to be some sort of metal, and is heavier than the others.

Any help in identifying these would be appreciated.

Thanks

Cool specimens! I think the first set is a Dalmation Jasper or possibly very tiny Dendrites. The second has a pretty defined hexagonal crystal structure. The color swirls are wild! That has me stumped. The third set looks a lot like some of the Manganese encrusted Dolomite Shale and Sandstone I find near here. -Luke

Hey,

Thanks for the information. Yeah, I think you're right about the "Dalmatian Jasper" it looks exactly like pics online. I think it's helping to narrow down the area these came from. I think maybe the Southwest or Mexico, because of another rock from the bag. This one appears to be a "Desert or Pecos Diamond". beautiful stone, very translucent. Yeah, the second one pissed me off when I saw it, I thought - someone started eating candy and then threw it away on my rock walkway. It's very hard, and will scratch glass. What do you think the gold colored coating might be? This appears in one form or another over most of these rocks. Do you think maybe some kind of Lava flow?
It sounds like you've got the third one defined pretty well. I couldn't get any magnetism on it, so not Iron like I thought it might be.
Got any ideas on this brown stuff?

Thanks very much
Tim

Hmm, iron oxides possibly?
