    First one looks like it could be Ivory but the picture is slightly out of focus and the third looks like Soapstone (not sure).

    Don't know about ivory for the first one, could you show a detail of the carving and of the base? Preferable with the edge. Right now it looks like resin, especially since it has a wider base of the same material.
    The second one is serpentine, the third one soapstone.
