Hello!! In case you are one of the super, extra nice people who are experts in identification of stones and so kindly helped me with some pieces last week, I have a couple more unknowns from last Monday's mixed bag of stones I picked up at Hobby Lobby. I believe these might be different types of jasper.
This great pinkish stone with a number of other colors including green, brown and yellow, is approxiately 1 3/4" long with a hole going through the middle. This stone could easily be used as a pendant by dangling it long ways or by using it as a nice focal piece strung right on some wire or a choker wire. It is gorgeous!
This reddish stone with green and cream colors is such a deep beautiful color, I would hate to keep it in a bead container for a few years!! Now is the time to use all of these great beads, I just need some interesting ideas!
As always, please let me know your thoughts. Thank you!!

I think they're both jasper or maybe unakite. The first one could also be rhodonite which is normally rose/pink with black specks. They both would make great focals in a necklace!
I've seen it called "Chinese Unakite", but believe that it is indeed one of the many forms of Jasper. It is gorgeous, though. I love those colors....
I think this is called autumn jasper because of its green and red combinations. A beautiful jasper for sure.
