I have been holding on to these rocks for awhile from when I went gem mining in NC and would like some input on these. I have been searching trying to find out what these stones could possibly be. I have quite a few I would to find about so I will only post a couple at a time. Would appreciate any help.

Did you get these from a pay to "mine" place in NC? If you did they could be from anywhere as the people who run these places by low end rocks by the barrel and salt the ground/sluices for the public to "find" None will have any value other than sentimental or decorative. The first kind of looks like aquamarine and the second maybe serpentine but these really are just guesses.
I *think* the first one is aqua from the Hogg mine in Georgia. I was down there looking one time and the gentleman that was showing us around the mine told me that a lot of of it sold to the North Carolina mines around Spruce Pine. The stuff we found there looked a lot like that.
