I would think more in the line of Carnelian Agate. Nice stone.

If your really looking for a name, I would go with orange Quartz or Chalcedony. If you know where it was found maybe you can find a reference a more specific name. Here is a link to probably the best Quartz info page that I am aware of.

Nice one OV
Did you just find it, or have had it?

They are from my dad's collection, he is downsizing. He said do something with them, identify, learn.
I don't know what particular kind of agate it is. Blood....etc.

I found considerable carnelian in New Mexico. Smaller pieces than yours but cutting quality. One of my favorite stones. Very historical.

Carnelian for sure! My grandfather hunted agates in OR, I have some carnelian he found but they are not river or beach tumbled like yours

As far as agate is concerned, carnelian is relatively common throughout the Willamette River drainage. I bought a collection from an older couple years ago. About 3000 lbs of carnelian from creeks near Cottage Grove. Find some whenever I fish the local gravel bar near Harrisburg.

Thank you for your confirmation, gunsil. I am fairly sure it is also for I have some in my rock collection that looks like it.

Yes. Nothing like home grown, amigo.

 

[crashbandicoot]

Whatever. Here are five examples of Oregon fire opal.

That may indeed be Oregon Fire Opal,but look nothing like Oregon Viking,s rock. Whatever!

A word to the wise..........Gentlemen, do not bring issues from the politics forum to the regular forum, if you do you are violating both the rules of the politics forum and our regular forum and there will be consequences if it continues and I do not mean for a few days or weeks either.
