This is a local Estevan Saskatchewan agate, it just looks like a candy corn. Its not actually tumbled either as it was too big for my in the house tumblers, so I polished it on my flat lap. There are still a few small scratches, might have to o a little tumbling in the big tumbler come spring. Anyhow here are before and after pics Before  After  |

Haha, kind of looks like a Brazilian agate and a Montana agate got together, and this is their offspring! Very interesting, thanks for posting.... what about the other two of the top three you have collected?  |

Nice rock. I like the name of it. From the shine of it it seems like it's a fairly hard agate.

That is real pretty, I'd be proud of it too, it's a bit different from what we usually see here. Cool!
