thank you.

What's the scientific name of mactan stone, gray lip stone, snake skin stone, and light salmon stone?
I doubt there is a scientific name for these, since as common names they may be applied to almost anything. They may be common names for more than one type of rock or shell.





Mactan stone is a type of sea shell that comes from the Mactan Island in the Phillipines, but is also made of plastic resin and sold as Mactan Stone by some retailers.





Snakeskin stone appears to be a trade name for a material used in Italian furniture, possibly made from a coral-type limestone. I have never seen a reference to light salmon stone or gray lip stone, but I suspect these are just descriptive names given to an attractive material by a clever vendor.
