I picked this up in Tucson but did not keep good records of what it is and where it is from. My bad. I am learning the importance of keeping said records. Anyway, I can’t find anything online similar to it. Awesome yellow moss and purple and blue banding. I’m thinking from Mexico but is there a trade name? The color is a little washed out form lighting...more purple than blue banding but the moss is dead on. Thanks for looking and any help is appreciated! 1  2  3  4  5  |

Looks like maybe an Agua Nueva agate out of Mexico. They often have the moss with fortifications....Mel

Thank you Mel Sabre52 . I knew if anyone had an idea, it would be you! Your knowledge of rocks and their locations is unmatched. Most of what I bought was clearly marked but this one escaped ID. A beautiful rock and it made some awesome slabs! Thank you again for sharing your vast knowledge. Jeff A |

I agree with Mel - Agua Nueva Agate.  Larry C. |
