Please help with identifying these rocks. If the colors aren't true in the pics, they are green with black.
Some are tumbled and some are raw. They were found in a parking lot in Glenwood, AR. They were likely imported to there.
Thank you for your help.

The one that is rougher looking reminds me of Green Beryl or fluorite. Not sure about the tumbled looking one though.

Not the right color for serpentine or fluorite. If the tumbled piece has small golden inclusions,  it is plasm a green jasper with pyrite. The rough piece looks to be jasper as well. What was the country rock like. If you have predominantly dark minerals then I would say it's definitely jasper. Jasper is usually colored by various iron pigments. Yellow ,reds, greens and blue,black is the highest iron content and lowest oxygen.
