It's tan with various band of light green throughout. Thanks for any info. Patty

I'm just amazed that they call it a jasper , since it's so soft, but it sure looks like the stuff. Thank you, Patty

Lizard stone jasper is correct. This used to be one of my favorite rocks as a kid. Enjoyed looking at my grandpas cabochons of it.

Thank you Mel, I believe that, and had wondered how it could ever be called a Jasper.

OTOH people seem to call anything that doesn't seem to fit in a common category a jasper, or if it's dark green, maybe jade (lol)
