Really pretty regardless. You photos are nice but a bit dark, any way you could up either your exposure or aperture?
The metallic bit is likely hematite.

It's just out of the tumbler. It didn't look like much when I found it, it had a bit of a crust and the only reason I tumbled it was because I could see a little red in it. I was quite shocked when I pulled it out of step one and saw the metallic part.

Was the mud in your tumbler red ? If so, hematite. If not, how close are you to Kentucky ? Could be one of the Kentucky type agates too.

Mud was brown if I'm thinking of the right batch, usually it's gray with the local material. I'm about 60 miles north of KY.
