Trying to group together like things, hopefully not messing up too badly! I think 1-3 is Montana? … don’t know how to tell Montana vs India black skin… 1  2  3  4  5  |

1, 2, 3 all look Montana to me. I don't have enough exposure to Indian black skin but it seems to me the Indian black skin agates more or less have some semi translucent white banding which Montana doesn't usually have?

Hmm, so for my initial sorting (until I have more experience) assume any with semi opaque areas are black skin and similar agates that are entirely translucent are Montana? Edit: realized it won’t matter much if it’s black skin or Montana. Will learn about the “choice” Montana patterns to keep an eye out for those, though. |

#4-5 look like Sweetwater agates from Wyoming. They may fluoresce green under UV light.
