Or something else maybe? What's really throwing me off are the reds and pinks in it. I can't see any purple so ignore that color tone in the photos as misleading. This is another one that is too big for my saw or I would have cut it already. Thanks for looking

Whatever they are you chose very well! Consider me green with envy for all five.

I have some of this material and have no clue what it could be. A friend suggested it may be amethyst Sage to. I wish I had a photo on me to share. It is exactly like yours. Can't wait to hear what the members share in IDing yours.
Cheers Matt

Tommy, it looks like some Rainbow Ledge material, from up near Ridgecrest. Got some that looks just like it. The colors and pattern don't lie...
Picked this up at an estate sale last April. Got a few smaller pieces as well.

Cool! thanks for the lead Jean. I don't see the pinks in yours - is it just the photo or maybe the material is variable?

I have some more in my stash outside that is more yellow/green like yours, smaller pieces. Would take me about a month to find them, tho'. I'll keep you in mind if I should run across them, and take some pics.
The combination of colors are just right for Rainbow Ledge.

kind of reminds of of unakite but the colors are reversed... unakite is mostly pink with green added......whatever it is, it's beautiful.
If anyone has any extra, say about 5-10 pounds, or more, they wouldn't mind parting with PM me, I'm always looking for something new to cut & cab!!

Hey Dad Ohs,
I have a bin of unidentified Jasper agate. Now that I have a better understanding of what it is, I'll see if I have other chunks when going through it and see if I have extras I can part with.
