Please take all pictures dry, if wet a lot of surface features can't be seen. :)

The last one does look a bit like pegmatite!
Keep a look out for that stuff. It's exciting material for any rock hound.

Thank you, I wondered about that if it was okay that they were wet, (darn rookie here, lol), on a couple of them the colors stand out much better when wet but from now on I'll post them dry. The last picture was dry as well as the first rock.

Yeah, well, the explanation why dry is better is rather simple. :)
The water hides the natural lustre & texture that the stone has, which is rather useful when making a guess from a pic.

#1 is likely quartz.
