Went shopping over the weekend & picked up these 3.
I have found some things on the Yellow Jasper, but not much on the other 2. Anyone have any experiences or information about them? Thanks! :D

yellow obsidian is pretty rare and usually comes from oregon. Obsidian as a whole has basic properties and the different color variations add subtle changes to the basic properties.
Stramatolites fall into 2 groups... organic creation and inorganic creation. The vast magority are organic which means fossil algae or some form of proto algae but it is also believed that some of it may have been created through inorganic ways. Metaphysically they all fall into the fossil grouping and as such have the properties of fossils.
If you follow the beliefs of others who work with fossils on a metaphysical basis that the older the fossil the deeper and more primal the results of regression work then Stramatolites should be some of the best tools out there seeing many of them were created during a time which scientists now refer to when our oceans were a "primordial soup."

If I remember my BIO 101 - weren't stromatolites some of the oldest living things on Earth? A fossilized example of that would be really interesting to see.
