This may seem weird but rock identification is not my best field, I'm better at the level of mineral/crystal /lapidary ID. Nevertheless, I agree w/ your granite assessment. Your favorite one, I'm thinking may be sedimentary due to the aspect of it's evolution, some parts weathered away easier than the white areas which may be some quartz lens.

One of my projects this past winter was to assemble a photo gallery of named specimens; I think there's about 5 or 6 hundred pics in there now.
Here's a few -

Garnet Barite Quartz


a concretion


fossil shoe Halite aka as salt - crystallized on garage floor forming a nice fashionable set of sunglasses


Blue flowstone Geodes weather out of limestone where this stuff is present.


Micromount collection


Where I keep track of the collection Vol. 1 of 3. vol 2 of 3. The 3rd one is to the right of the 2nd one

I'll try to get some broad shots of the collection, the better to conceptualize it's actual extent within a day or two.
