Hi all. I bought some rough at a show a few months ago, and stupidly neglected to ask what it was (I'm still new to this). I think the red ones are carnelian and the green-white stuff is moss agate, but is this correct? Thank you for any assistance, and sorry for the dumb question.

Carnelian yes, Moss agate no.

Oh, okay, thank you. Do you know what the green and white ones are?

It may be Moss Agate from India. I've bought some where the clear agate goes to white. You might even be able to call it Green Tree Agate, but I'd let one of the experts on here confirm that. Jo

I would go with the green tree agate also.

A third vote for green tree agate.

Thank you all very much for your responses! The pictures I've seen online of green tree agate do rather look like what I've got. I'll assume that's what it is

I see a couple agates embedded in the gravel on the first pic.....Might be worth seeing what kind it is....(could be quartz too)
