I acquired several large chunks of this last week. Thought they might be wonderstone when I got them, but I'm pretty sure its jasper. Been looking but cant find anything similar. the one longer slab has same color and design on one end but different on the other half,looks like owyhee.Any help appreciated. snuffy

OK just a guess but it really reminds me of Goldfield Jasper from the g Goldfield, Nevada gem claims. It's a highly silicified rhyolite and much is so full of silica is pretty much jasper. It's got a ton of patterns but some of it looks a lot like your examples. Again, only a guess though.....Mel
