Green Aventurine
Silicon dioxide (SiO2) with inclusions of Fuchsite mica
Rhodonite
Manganese Silicate (Mn, Fe, Mg, Ca)SiO3
Shale or Mudstone (Based on appearance)
Shale (fine-grained, laminated fissile sedimentary rock) / Mudstone (fine-grained, non-fissile sedimentary rock)
Tiger's Eye
Pseudomorph of Quartz after Crocidolite (SiO2)
Granite
Granite (a broadly defined plutonic igneous rock, often more specifically classified as quartz monzonite or granodiorite based on precise mineral percentages)
Fuchsite
Chromium-rich Muscovite (KAl2(AlSi3O10)(OH,F)2 with Cr replacements)
Jade
There are two distinct minerals commonly known as Jade: Nephrite (a calcium magnesium silicate - Ca2(Mg,Fe)5Si8O22(OH)2) and Jadeite (a sodium aluminum silicate - NaAlSi2O6). Based on the image showing a typically softer, more fibrous appearance, it is likely Nephrite.
