Hi all, i wanted to share some pictures of my latest find here, and ask your opinion about it.. it is it is pretty big, weighs 2-3 kg , looks like it is all chalcedony and it is translucent but without the banding of an agate to the point that I see. Any infos or advice will be appreciated 😊

Agates do look like rock barf, but I think this is agate. Very nice rock.

Not your usual chalcedony. A nice variety of colors, and I'd bet a real beauty sliced and polished.

Thx for answering you all, the stone is found in Greece but I don’t think this place here is known for giving such stones. Maybe I should contact some local in Athens..
It is big though 10cm*12cm*15cm
