Nope, neither are Hornitos. Right one is Guadalupe. Left one may not even be from America. It might be Indonesian Poppy. It seems very unfractured which kind of makes me think it didn't come from highly seismic Commiefornia. If it is Commiefornian, it's probably one of the northern types from north of SF bay area. Should add there is a similar yellow poppy jasper out of the Burro Creek region in Arizona too...Mel

Yup, that one is definitely Guadalupe too. It varies in color from OD green, to yellow to red etc. Lot of variety in Guadalupe. Hornitos tends to be mostly red shades with whites and purples. Poppies/flowers much different from Guadalupe. Here's some of my Guadalupe slabs showing some of the variation.

My slab on the right looks a lot like your slab on the right. Mine looks a lot like second row on the right. photobucket.com/images/Hornitos%20Poppy%20Jasper,%20Hunters%20valley,%20Mariposa%20Co,%20CA?page=1 Watch out for photobucket if you get any kind of a popup to fix something. Ignore it.

Yeah, when you search photobucket, you get a lot of misidentified stuff. All kinds of different poppy in there wrongly id'd as Hornitos.Second row far right is a slab of old Holy Grail pit Hornitos. Poppies in that stuff are huge, up to half an inch or more and nothing at all like Guadalupe. Guadalupe tends to be orbicular with spheres smooth to serrate on edges. Holy Grail Hornitos is a flowering jasper with the inclusions not really spherical in the centers at all but rather concentric flower like formations. if you had them in hand, it's super easy to tell the difference......Mel
