The second pic makes me think of tv test patterns from years ago . . . or maybe it was just bad reception. Rich

You managed to polish it perfectly. The bands are very nice. Any clue about its size? It seems to be quite big if looking at the foggy letters in the first pic, is that why you named it "cab"? Adrian

	And Mother Earth spoke to me about her children and Lo! there were the rocks and minerals, the geodes and thundereggs, the crystals and agates. And I clasped them close to my heart. And Mother Earth smiled and welcomed me into her family. And I played with all the children in joy and peace forever as we all tumbled about.

Looks like sardonyx..............here is the description:

Sardonyx is a variety of Agate where the banding lines are straight and parallel, and consistent in band size. The color of the bands are brown to red, and alternate with white or black bands.
