Bought they rock's years ago at a garage sale, would love to know what they are. Thank You.
The 3 big rocks are about 6 inches high and wide. The small glassy looking rock is about 4 by 2

Top row, far right looks like labradorite. Wet it, take it out in the sun. Does it have blue flashes? I have a 12 pound chunk that is polished on one side that sits in a birdbath on the front porch. It catches everybodies eyes. Not sure of the rest but I would have bought them too.

That was what I was thinking too, As I understand, Labradorite is only found on the east coast of Labrador in Canada. Once upon a time I was going there to see if I could rockhound some, but family needs came first (which I will always take over a road trip), sure looks like a good specimen. I am thinking that the first one is Sodalite, the other blue one might be Hessonite, and I have seen green ones here at he Southeast side of Oklahoma that had green in the quartz, but not quite as full as that one. I have to agree, I would have bought them as well. By the way, Sodalite is soft, can be carved, just with simple metal tools. I am not saying to scratch it, but if it does get scratched, that could be a clue as well. I can't find my rock books, they are buried someplace, probably under the treasure books. :)
