Hello all, New here and this is my first post I recently really started sinking my teeth into rocks and minerals, but I have a decent sized collection of odd specimens I've gathered over the years, but I didn't identify them along the way. So I will probably be asking for a decent bit of help to identify some of them, thank you in advance! Here is the first specimen which I've always found very interesting, I got it while I was working at a home about to be demolished and they were actually going to throw it out, but the woman had passed away years ago so I truly have no clue of it's origins. goo.gl/photos/gG1huTe4qRmM6K7j9goo.gl/photos/ASApcDYcRFN5fVeW9goo.gl/photos/ePvHAV4ZTvpX2w2L8goo.gl/photos/2Gp5upLjwByP68DF9goo.gl/photos/qDSwbfnoxGmLGae28The top layer seems to have a thin layer of white rock, maybe calcite I was told by someone, but the green points underneath are pretty bright and clear. On the bottom layer are the others, which are very very flat and smooth.

Actually come to think of it, since I have a whole bunch of interesting specimens to ask about, I will just post the album and see what everyone finds interesting! goo.gl/photos/gYoQTKU7xPZq4tcG6I have this sneaking suspicion that one of them is actually some sort of Opal too! Hopefully you all find them as interesting as I do! I should also mention that the black and white one is UV reactive, but I don't have a small UV lamp to be able to show it.
