Don't know that I've ever seen that color before. Very cool!

But found a smaller one.

Gowganda, I'm no expert either!

There's the white/brown matrix pudding stone

Green/black gowganda with reddish inclusions. Also some green matrix with white inclusions if also gowganda or different?

Then purple, but the red Jasper is like the pudding stone but the gowganda reds are like granite.

Nice gowganda i found today
