I love how much the top one looks like a feather.

Seeing the inside helps id the outside process. Hmmm, or seeing the inside helps explain the outside. Something like that! Thanks!

Haha, yes, something like that!

Fortunately, it was obviously a prairie agate. However, the inside was a bit of a surprise. I didn't really expect as many colors and I thought that the bands would be more parallel. Just goes to show that I have a lot to learn.

I should have taken a pic before I sliced it, but here's a look at the outside
