I bought 3 slabs of this purple agate at a show, but the seller didn't know what it was. I was thinking Sowbelly agate, Burrow Creek agate, or while we're on critter names - fossilized Barney alvioli! Second one was donated to the rock club, but no one knows anything about it. I've ruled out Rainforest Rhyolite. It's grayer than that , and doesn't have mini thundereggs embedded.. It's not Kamababa jasper. It's somewhat waxy, very dense. It looks like it will make some great cabs with the help of Hxtal to fill the many fractures. TIA Lynn

#1 Luna Agate #2 I was going to say kambaba but I guess you've ruled it out.

I just got some purple agates at a auction and they don't look like that one you have. I got some banded also and it looks way different than yours. I can only compare it to what I just got and what the tag said. Some of them were cut in half and no designs like yours. Go for it. Not much help but who knows.

Luna and the second one looks greenish so it must be a PGR (pretty green rock).😁 That second one is really hard to tell, not knowing if there is any translucency to it.
