This looks like what we call "Prairie Agate".

Chuck, does look a lot like the Crowley ridge in the link. I'll go with that unless someone else is positive with a different ID.

Seeing as tho it was with some montana agates I would say it is known as a prairie agate,common for the area Ed

What's the difference between a Crowley and a Fairburn? I looked at the Crowely link Chuck put up and they have even same width lines like a Fairburn. A Fairburn hunter I met in Fairburn at the Agate Beds told me the even lines are the key to iding a Fairburn.

While OUR Don will disagree wholeheartedly, Donald Kasper an agate scientist, says Fairburns and other northern plains agates are all the same, formed at the same times in the same geologic formations. Maybe Crowley Ridge fits this description also.
