I’d posted this one in Rock ID but forgot to here. My kids best friend found it (green jasp-agate). We had such high hopes for it until it broke then broke again and broke yet again. It’s such a rich green color with small blue angate fortifications, along with some eye catching tan accents. Now I’m just hoping for a pile of nicely shined, green rocks, but the way it’s going we’ll end up with green gravel lol.

That is odd. I would have guessed from the outside pic (other than the one big fracture) that the rock was pretty solid. Looks like the yellow stuff on the inside is not. Will be interesting to see if it polishes.
