I think the blue one (filename ending in "..76019") might be Bornite. ?
The purple parts of it are probably oxidized Chalcopyrite.
Bornite can also be found as a dark, solid, deep-purple-looking rock so don't let that throw you when you do more research online.
And the only reason I know this is that I was just trying to learn some of the names myself!
I don't know about the green ones. Maybe a mix of copper ores and ??

Rock in first two pics looks like a nice plume agate. Fourth I agree looks like bornite, and the last looks like a piece of schist. ( I am not swearing fyi lol!) Not sure about the others....
