Looks like AZ pet wood to me.

Over the past 40 years I have done a lot of collecting and moving things from one place to another. Mostly within WI, but lived in AZ for a few years.

I agree with the AZ identification. Have a pair of bookends with those colors with bark on the outside. Away from home so I can't post photos. Rick B

Looks like AZ pet wood to me. Yep. While I'm usually not good at most IDs, this looks exactly like some of the stuff I picked up at Dobell's a few of months ago.

Absolutely AZ wood. Almost unmistakable.

There is a seam agate that is found here in southwestern Utah in the Trcp Chinle layers that looks an awful lot like AZ rainbow wood...but it isn't. It forms in long, thin seams, often flanked by selenite layers. It's mostly found in small chips and pieces, having been well broken up for the last 225 million years or so. The pics in your post are identical to what I find.

Here's examples of this seam agate. I used to hound this seam frequently until they built an apartment building on top of it...

Interesting. I had never heard of this type of seam agate in AZ before. Sure makes ID more difficult.

There is a similar-looking agate from north-central Oregon, too. Sometimes cloudy looking and sometimes with areas of real dense moss. You might want to look for some preserved wood features (grain, rays, tracheids/vessels, cambium or bark) to confirm it is wood. Find evidence of wood in one, you can conclude that they are all wood. I just hate it when I come across something I've collected and cannot recall where, what or when.
