In places where it isnt red it is usually clear , sometimes with curious white globules that look almost like strawberry seeds ( strawberry patch agate ). This photo just doesnt have any sunlight and of course in addition to some mud there is a rind on the agates. Not to mention this photo was taken with my blackberry and not a "real" camera. Purple tinge on the edges? I wish! Here is a picture I took today of a guitar pick made from this material. I shows how the material looks when cut then ( even has the white spheres)
