A couple mysteries here. 1st a jasper - indian blanket? 2nd nipomo marcasite- is the orange carnelian? - never mind the bright red, it is a reflection of something. doesn't look like Indian blanket to me,

I would agree with @<'))))>< Fish not Indian Blanket but very nice. The Nipomo I would call agate but not carnelian. Carnelian should be a reddish orange shade of agate not yellowish. all very nice stones.

I'm thinking the jasper is a lower grade ocean jasper that just does not have many orbs. Technically yellow to brown chalcedony is sard but just yellow agate works for me. Lot of the Nipomo and Stone Canyon material has the yellow agate filling....Mel

Concur with Sabre52. I have some OJ that looks very similar in color and pattern. That Nipomo is killer!
