Was given a treasure hunt by the resident pirate on the RTH FB page. He hides rocks along his OTR trucking route for members to find. Usually tells specific members of treasure left near them. Would these be considered Prairie Agates? The largest one has many colors. Also pictured the entire treasure he left for me.

Both of those look like banded agates of some type to me.

Neither of those are prairie agates. If I were to find them where I rockhound, those would be Fairburn Agates.

Here is the other side of large (4") one. This photo is more true to colors.

fernwood, I don't think those are prairie agates. Honestly, if I came across those in my area they would be Fairburns. Location, location, location...
