Rock 1 looks like a granite or granitic gneiss. The pink/orange
stuff would be alkali feldspar and the dark material would be
amphibole or pyroxene (difficult to tell from the photos) and
magnetite.

Rock 2 is impossible to tell, partly because the photos are fuzzy.
I've seen terrestrial anorthosites with that greenish gray color, which
comes from alteration minerals.

Rock 3 is a basalt, with original gas bubbles filled with other minerals,
probably calcite or dolomite (white), siderite (brown), and chlorite (dark
greenish).

  Yours.

If you like please check out my nice new finds of (non)meteo(rite/wrong) or

this looks like basalt but it is more than 50% pure metal:

this is a unique combination in one rock between three previous rocks:
