Actually I saw a post about them on Robert's website, and assumed that was the other one he intended to ask about.

To me the first one has the look of an unusual Arkansas- does it have that ole novaculitey feel?
The third one, and only because it is greenish, maybe it is McCauley from Ga. in the US
oh found a link:http://www.motherearthnews.com/Natur...ne-Quarry.aspx
"Olmstead found great variations in quality among stones obtained from the same spot, describing the best as having an olive green color and transparent edges. The best were apparently very good, as he goes on to say. "Our carpenters lay aside, for them, the best Turkey hones of the market.... Some of the specimens, when polished, present a clouded or chequered surface, with a high lustre, and possess no small degree of beauty. Mechanics, in the vicinity of the quarry, frequently supply themselves with masses of eight or ten pounds weight. "
Here I dont think he is talking about Turkish turkey stones- but that's what they called these I think because they were similar.
