Okay folks. First of all I apologize for the lousy quality photos. This is basically a mixture of stuff. Agates, chert, jasper etc. Despite the photo quality, there is actually a mirror shine to these stones. The second picture is a jasper...my favorite, because of the mixture of colors.

I'm never happy with my pictures either. I like the colors of your favorite also. Is that self collected rock?

Thanks everyone! And "gingerkid", i'm not quite sure what it is. I'm guessing some form of jasper. I know for a fact, that a lot of the stones in the San Luis Obispo County Cental Coast of california, are primarily...jasper, agate and chert. A lot of the stuff out there have fantastic color combinations.

Here are a few more examples of SLO County (San Luis Obispo) beach stones. I call them "psychedelic" or "Jimi Hendrix" jasper LOL.

A lot of the stuff out there have fantastic color combinations. I am from Northern CA (SF Bay) and self collect too. I am in love with our variety in Jasper's, although agate is hard to come by. I find a lot of brownish agate I call Rootbeer rock that's pretty cool too. You got some great stuff there, thanks for sharing!
