I found this and a few others while looking for arrow heads near Uvalde Tx . Im new to the gemstone Identification. It is 1" 1/2 x 1" wide. It does has something visable inside of it. Has a light yellow line through the center . The top and bottom of it you can see through when you hold it up to the light. Thank You in advance for any help !!

I believe you found a piece of chalcedony quartz. Chalcedony quartz: The mineral Chalcedony information and pictures It is considered a semiprecious gem stone and is found in many forms and colors. I have some pieces I picked up along the way that I line around a flower garden in the yard with other interesting rocks I've picked up . Yours looks as if it had eroded in a river, stream, glacier? over a period geologic time. Yes! Rocks are fun to seek out. They are the very first thing in my life I found enjoyment in looking for.

Thank you Tamrock for your reply and help. It was greatly appreciated. I look for Native American artifacts most of the time . I just decided that while i was looking not to pass up other odd or pretty stones , so Im a newbie at gemstones.

i find a lot of those, can't pass them up, would agree on the chalcedony...an agate.
