You will need to send it there for closer review. Might take me awhile to identify it too!

Im really new at identifying but it looks to me to be bloodstone. I agree with Shotgunner though, need to take a hands on look to be sure!

Man, that is some fancy rock! I sure don't recognize it as a specific described type. I'm kind of thinking bjurney might be in the ballpark and maybe it's a atypical example of Indian Fancy Jasper/bloodstone. Haven't seen that exact pattern before but fancy jasper often has those colors and sometimes has that sort of zebra striping effect. I understand Indian Fancy Jasper and Indian Zebra jasper deposits are close together and maybe this is an intergrade of the two....Mel

Great rock! possibly fossil plant/wood origin from the looks of it
