It goes by several names. Cherry Orchard Agate is the original as I remember but people have trade-named it African Bloodstone, Volcano Agate and a couple of others I can 't recall at the moment.

thank you guys, mystery solved! I'm glad to have your memory on this one gemfeller - Info like this is why I love this place to much. I have learned it is mined in Swaziland Africa, and goes by many names. Knowing it was called cherry orchard definitely wraps up the "cherry" label. Thank you so much rockjunquie, jasoninsd, and gemfeller!

Thanks for posting this Rick! I've only known it as African Bloodstone...which I always hated that name. It's nothing similar (in my mind) to "Bloodstone". However...now knowing it as Cherry Orchard really seems like it was well-named to start!
