Couple of these I know, couple others I have no idea. Finland Spectrolite, that I broke! Grrrr. Sort of glued it back together but the crack shows. To bad, awsome stone. Little red agate with some matrix inside. Any ideas? Softer stuff ?? Jasper with a tiny bit of agate in it too Sodalite Thanks for any id suggestions Tim

Regarding the softer stuff, we have material in SoCal that we call cave onyx - which is more a travertine - that looks a lot like your picture when you cut it right. It comes from the Mojave Desert. I don't remember if it comes from the Trona region or farther out. I have a friend with a bucket of the stuff.
Your greenish jasper could come from Oregon. As to the specific location, I couldn't tell you. Maury Moss? Belvade? Others would be better than I on that one.
But what do I know?
