I love how the colors form wide bands that break down into smaller similar color bands the more you zoom in.

Gorgeous fortifications!

Could this possibly be a Janos Agate as opposed to Laguna? I just happened to be Googling Janos Agates, and this really is a dead-ringer for some of the shots I saw. The pea-green/yellow color in the banding is what caught my eye as well as what looks to be the "entry" point for the fortification on the bottom of the rock in that first pic.

Here’s a few examples

Wow!!! Thanks for posting this pic!

I can definitely see the difference in the matrix when I compare it to your first pic.

That bottom one is flat out amazing!
