I thought it was agate. Shame on me.

The item was $6 plus shipping and there were 0 bids until this morning. I sniped $15 and lost to a $15 bid. I probably bid too much and was not disappointed not getting it. I messaged the seller when I saw it and got more information. He got it from a miner friend some time ago. I think Owyhee as Owyhee jasper and the name refers to the Owyhee mountains in the Oregon/Utah area so a Morrisonite relative makes sense.

Slight correction. The Owyhees are located in Idaho/Oregon. Graveyard Point is right on the state line. Most of the picture jaspers come from the Oregon side but Idaho produces several famous ones including Willow Creek and Bruneau.
