Sorry for bad quality.

Hey TheFossickingKid. Its either an Agate or some sort of Onyx/Chalcedony.
they are nice no matter what we call them.I'll polish this up and post the results at a later date.

 

[TheFossickingKid]

Alright sounds good thanks.

 

[Lefty]

Nice agate there Richard! Nothing wrong with that stuff! And one of them is a good-sized chunk of carnelian by the looks?

 

[ktmman]

Thanks Lefty,that was the only piece of carnelian we found this time.
In some near by areas it is much more prevalent but usually fractured.
I think one of my young-uns found this piece.I was looking for the moss Agate,which is my favorite for cabbing
at the gem club. I'm going to be very busy on the saws this Saturday at the club
