Can't wait until my book comes in - I googled it but couldn't find names. Maybe agate? One is striped and the other is blotchy. Can anyone recognize what kind of rocks these are?

These look similar to pink granite or marble found in the Adirondack streams here in New York.
I have no geology knowledge, just speculating!
Did you find these in water?

I found them by the river in Texas. They are really pretty. I cleaned them up and I love the designs. I have a batch of red rocks, then black rocks, the list goes on - but these are very unique in design to what I find. I have no idea. Thanks for looking. I ordered a book to help me identify some of the rocks I find. Love finding little things like this.

I found a pic of Jasper stone. It looks like it might be Jasper. Good I hope you do! I have a lot of fun with it. Happy hunting :)

My first thought it the same as Turkish. Hardness test will help. It does usually feel heavy for it's size to.
