I bought some slabs of this material long ago from a rock shop in Boise, ID. It tended to carry mostly local and Northwest material but not always. I've been under the impression it's Snake River Dendritic Agaate but I didn't mark the slabs when i bought it. It doesn't quite resemble what I'm finding in web searches. Can anyone confirm -- or if not, tell me what it is?  |

It is. It’s just not what you usually see with the caramel browns. It has the hints of it in there just not as pronounced

I’ve seen ochoco dendritic, snake river, Paiute, etc.. that all look the same. Being that it’s from a boise shop and due to locality and variations of it I have, I’m still confident it’s snake river.
