1. This is very hard and the stripe of green goes all the way through it. Pictures are both sides.

2. This one is porous and very light. I have some that float and some that don't but they look just alike.

1. The green is probably epidote.
2. Do streak and hardness test.
3 and 4 could be granitoid?
