I don’t know but I want to see a pic of your rock garden. You find a lot of neat specimens.

I don't know either. Just wondering though, do you ever cut and polish em?

Hmm...:icon_scratch: Based on just the photos and color it looks closer to Sagenite since Moss has more of a green color. Did you find it?

There is no visible evidence of rutile or intact needle like crystal inclusions so it's probably not Sagenite. As Hunt commented it doesn't appear to be green so it's probably not moss agate. From appearance (all we have to go on) it appears to be common agate.

You will probably have to cut it open to see if it has any interesting features or colors that give it value beyond ordinary rock.
