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. Allan Allan H.
