This is a slab that we cut off of some material we got at a gem and mineral show this past weekend. Sorry the picture didn't come out very good. Close up you can see the orangish brown really pop out of the rock.  Thanks Dot |

Thanks Curt and Rich. I have another slab that has more agate running through and the puffy clouds, as my granddaughter calls them, are more seperated and defined. I'll try to get a better close up of it tonight.

Yep, I'd say one of the Stone Canyon Jasper varieties for sure. Similar forms come from Creston, Indian Valley, Cambria, San Simeon and Ventura but all are from the same Franciscan deposits.....Mel

Yeah, what they all said. Similar areas/names include Parkfield Jasper, Jaqualitos Creek, and Coalinga jasper.

Probably Stone Canyon, but we have some Rio Grande agate that looks just like it.
