Poppy Jasper?

Found this in Tucson AZ earlier today while looking thru Rocks outside the Emergency Vet clinic for 3 hours (was trying to distract myself while waiting for news on my furry baby Tiger, at home now 6 hours later and no news) along with some other cool finds. I THINK it's Poppy Jasper. Can someone confirm? Also, the rock that the red poppies is more of a pinkish grey than the golden beige in some of the photos. The setting sun was good light but I realized it was throwing off the color a tad. Color is more accurate in the photo where I had it in my hand for size reference.

I've never collected poppy jasper but it does look like it from pictures online, see if a steel knife or a piece of quartz can scratch it, jasper is an opaque Chalcedony microcrystalline variety of quartz so they shouldn't scratch it. I also hope your fur baby tiger gets well fast, I have a little orange fella that has my heart as well, hes not furry but hes a hugger.

Thank you so much! This is the first I've checked in for a while. My Golden Walrus (aka Tiger) has had alot of ups & downs requiring most of my attention. I adore your little friend and it's so awesome that he obviously adores you too. I'll do the tests you suggested and let you know! Interestingly I walked the lot we are looking at purchasing yesterday and found TONS of Chalcedony (I think).

Very pretty polished! I'll have to mail to my daughter and have her tumble it for me.🙂
