These "rocks" were part of an old wall found on my property. The wall was probably constructed in the 1950's or earlier and also contains large pieces of various kinds of petrified wood. We are having a new drainfield put in and part of the wall had to be torn down. The cement was crumbling and the rocks came out easy. I was thinking of posting some on eBay but am not sure what I have. These are just a few of my favorites. Just curious mostly as to what they are because they are so pretty. Thank you in advance for any information. I live in the Puget Sound region of WA state.

Nice variety of stones from that wall, looks like a rock hounds wall for sure :) Pic 1 quartz, 2 4 and 7 (and a couple of re-shots) agatized petrified wood, 3 looks like a combination of blocky calcite with small quartz crystal cluster, 5 is host rock with chalcedony veins and druzy quartz, 6 is mammary chalcedony with a druzy quartz layer. I cant say much for the host rock but it has some nice color to it.
