Banded chert, not sure, azurite (blue)/malachite (green), scoria basalt, bornite (peacock ore)/chalcopyrite.

The banded rocks are Thundereggs - the state rock of Oregon.  I would hazard a guess those are from the “Red Bed” at Richardson’s Rock Ranch in Madras, Oregon.  You can look up Richardson’s on the internet.  It is a fee-dig location open to the public.  I have a couple tubs of Red Bed eggs I have been cutting with my rock saws over the years.
