I found these out near wickenburg Az on a small hill, I couldn't find it anywhere else. It has small bubbly spheres and some type of qaurtz maybe, the crystal or qaurtz have a soft glow under uv light orange/blue/green and the crystals in some of the geode crystals are glowing golden or orange without uv, just plain light...

The picture on the right appears to have quartz crystal terminations.

All of the materials except the stone in the bottom left in picture 1 exhibit chalcedony formation and in picture 2 you have a chalcedony formation with a vug of quartz crystals. The stone I excluded shows cubit formation and has me scratching my head as well as the green coloration~ maybe a variation of quartzite and something else. As to the UV results the orange might be due to calcite but the blue and green are common for quartz minerals. There are other minerals present in the chalcedony judging by the colorations but its primarily quartz silicate material. Neat stuff. My thoughts.

agree with the above two statements, but the bottom left and the one directly above it look possibly like petrified wood. Anyone else think so?

The green stone on the right is Olivine, very common in the area. The rest are just quartz (silicon dioxide) and silica in various forms, also common for the area.
