Alright here's my WAG at it,

All on the left display the typical shape of a geode. It is possible that the top one on the left is just a sandstone nodule, I'm probably wrong but I have seen some perfictly round stones here in Colorado that turn out to just be sandstone through and through. The first two on the right I would say are Agate, leaning towards Jasper. The one at the top center row I would hazzard to say is strictly Jasper. The one dead center in the picture really has my intrest peaked. It could be a type of Fire Agate and a real show stopper! There are two rocks in the bottom row that I would not expect to show much, that would be the center and right.That center one on the left does show a little teaser but there could be two different answers here.

One answer might be the pattern that the banded agate makes inside a solid core rock. The other answer might be a very gemmy pocket of Amethyst , or like crystals, inside a hollow geode.

Before I give my answers could you flip over that center stone and let me have a look at it please? lol

Ah what the heck, For best awsome pattern with a solid core.... The rock dead center in the picture! For a beautiful pocket of Gemmy Crystals..... The Geode on the bottom left! That one displays the typical bummpy/scalely crust that just screams, Crystals!
