I've been slabbing a few off this hunk over the years but don't know what it is. It came from an old stock collection here in Arizona. I suspect some type of plume agate, but would like to know origin and identity. As you can see, it is very distinct.

It looks like a type of flame agate. There are several varieties, so can't be more specific than that.

My first thought was flame agate too. Voting with Don.

Red wilder is absolutely correct. Nice piece too. The bottom crimbley green is a dead giveaway. Warning the pink is often sun sensitive. Lots of it laying around at the bottom of the ridge that has bleached white. Hard rock digging too!
