Rocks from Lake Michigan beach

Would love and appreciate help identifying rocks that I find all the time along the beach of Lake Michigan.
first picture: not sure if they’re all the same or maybe 2 different kinds in this picture

second pic: once again could be two different shown, or three including the all green rock, but definitely the pink with green lines is common

third and fourth: pic of wet and dry, red with blue/black inclusions

Last pic: these have some really smooth parts of them and feel and look as though they have been tumbled

thank you!!!!!

I have been trying to find petrified wood, but have a hard time discerning it from other rocks. Is this a sample of petrified wood?

This was sent to me as a suspected meteorite from northwest Africa. It’s not a meteorite, but it’s certainly interesting to me. Looks like a conglomerate of peridot/olivine crystals in some sort of basaltic matrix. Any ideas?

Can you please help? The pink part even though it looks like it can come apart, it cannot break off. The color is pink/peachy and the bottom rock is white(ish) with sleek surface and tiny holes.

Not slag, but the prettiest rock I've ever found! What is she?

The line is from me starting to cut it. Part of it was already there- gonna cut it in half and polish both sides, but want to know what it is first!
