This came out of polish today, a piece of small filler…anyone have any idea what it is? I really like it and would LOVE to find some rough, what ever it is. The coin is a quarter for scale. Thanks in advance. -Geoff

I’d say Lake Superior Eye Agate….nice.
Also, nice quarter…that’s also a good find!

geoff59 - I'm willing to bet quite a few shekels that's a piece of Laguna Lace Agate. The colors are right...as well as the fortification banding...

Yeah, this looks like one of the Mexican lace agates; 'Laguna Lace', I would say.
