You forgot to mention that all that comes from inside cool tubes too. What an interesting little bugger! Looks great!

Curt, Cool looking cab! Is it something you found? If not...it might be Calico Lace Agate. That is pink with gold moss. steve

Awesome cab! Calico lace is a good possibility and it might be an Agua Nueva too. Many of the Agua Nueva examples contain golden moss....Mel

Beautiful cab! Weird material indeed, I think I found a name for it: e-coli agate. Looks very similar to the e-coli bacteria viewed to the microscope.

I agree with Mel, Agua Nueva. But I like e-coli.

Beautiful stone and great cab. I agree it looks like Calico.

OK, I looked at a lot of pics of Agua Nueva and Calico. The Agua seems to have the tubes that this one has and the Calico doesn't but I've never been worth a darn at IDing anything.

Sweet Cab! I have to go with E Coli ;D I was going to say calico lace but then I looked up some aqua nuevas and I think you are right. Seems to go more with the tubes in that material.
