If you were wandering the prairie in Northern Colorado picking up rocks, this is what you would expect to find. Brown and red jasper, dirty dishwater shade agates, Si02 in various forms: This turned out better than I expected actually, it's a huge chunk of quartzite,I think it's a meta sedimentary rock with some kind of metal in it, it reflects like polished metal in spots. This is what the local agate looks like, kind of a dirty butterscotch with interesting globs: more agate: some jasper, this stuff is kinda hit or miss for how it tumbles:
