Wow, nice specimens! I love the dendrites. The stone it is in looks like the petrified limestone we have here. Very hard rock. Can't really see the agate though. could you take a pic of it outside ? maybe that would help ID it. & Welcome to Treasurenet! Your English is just fine.
Keep up the good hunts.

Could be jasper - at least it does at a quick glance resemble chalcedony.

Magnesite crystaL,blue,green,yellow and red colors are very rare.

You can rule out quartzite, it looks completely different.
