Help with what these are called

Can someone please help me with these?
I bought these stones and I fear that I might be misled by the salesman. I am also not sure of what the other stones are, I just bought them because they look good.

Is this stone below a Black Obsidian? It is opaque with a brownish hue when light is directed to it. It seems like a brown glass.



 The salesman told me that the stone below is a Lapis Lazuli. Can you check it out if it really is?
One thing I noticed is that it does have that dark blue color but no gold specs are present.




The salesman also told me that this one is a Lapis Lazuli, but now, I really doubt if it really is lapis. If not, then what stone is this? (Note: I know that it was artificially shaped this way.)




 How about this one? Is this really a Moon Stone?




Here, I have something that the saleslady sold to me. She said that this is a Snowflake Obsidian. I bought her claims and bought it at that moment. But the thing is that when I googled up snowflake obsidians, their white parts really do look like snowflakes. This thing I have here has got white spots, but not in the snowflake shape like the ones found in snowflake obsidians.








 And last, I have here a black stone that I have no idea what in the world it is. The one who sold me this told me that it is a "Bulalakaw" or "meteorite" in English, but I still doubt that it really is one. I've researched that this is called a "Tektite." Can anyone prove if it really is one?
