Wondering if anyone knows what this may be. The red is what caught my eye when I spotted it. Attachments:

Looks like something good. Where did you find it?

I found it in a pile of assorted rocks that had sat in a corner forever at the rock shop I frequent here. It was part of an old collection they had purchased and thought it was nothing that anyone would buy. I pulled a lot of red plume agate from there and some rocks I have never seen a match to before. It was the cheapest rough in their yard and I still dig through the "assorted" pile every trip there. I`m going to try a slab of it in my next vibe load. Just curious to what it is and it`s source if anyone recognized it.

I've collected similar material out of pipeline canyon in southern utah. There is a claim there that was mined for some years. I've seen it for sale at a small number of rock shops in utah. lots of red moss comes out of this location as well, some plume as well. the primary colors of this jasper is Red, Green, Purple, Orange and yellow.
