I was given a few minerals and I was hoping someone could identify them for me. It would be much appreciated, and guesses are welcome!

This first one is supposedly lava rock, but I have my doubts about that....

I apologize in advance for the poor photo quality. My phone's camera just broke and my DSLR hasn't been shipped from my old house yet!
So, what do you guys think?

The first rock looks like a moon rock. :o

Just kidding, its probably basalt. wich is a form of lava that's been well chilled of course
The second looks like Flint? Or Obsidian. Its sharp and looks like it was cut so its hard to tell
The third is Agate

Iron pyrite, slate and quartz are what I make out, but I'm not wearing my Acuvues
