Could someone who is savvy with rocks and gems please help me identify some rocks I've received?

Update:

I use this website called minerals.net to upload images to have them identified. It is a good site for that and useful when people answer, but that's the problem. There are only 2 people on the site that really answer people's questions, and sometimes your questions get ignored completely. I have included a link to my page and my most recently asked questions (http://answers.minerals.net/user/JohnBagel/questio... If someone could take a look at my 5 most recent questions, it would mean a lot!

    As far as the second question goes, that's certainly not citrine. Citrine is a colored quartz, and should look transparent. The 'jasper' certainly looks like some form of chalcedony, more like an agate in my eyes though.

    I looked at the pictures. All except the last look like quartzite or marble. The last one looks like greywacke.
