Hello, looked for a few hours this weekend and went to fill my bucket at the creek to wash some rocks and found this one! Used to red "lake superior agates" but what do you think of this one?

Agate? Or what? Thanks in advance for any help!

Yes, I would say agate.  Do you have access to a rock saw? If you could get a slab cut from it you will be able to see the banding much more clearly.

No availability to a saw, do you know where I could mail it to have that done?

I am thinking of trying to tumble it in my 12lb tumbler. Anyone have any luck with something that big? I would say it takes up about a third to half of the space of the canister height wise with room around it for little rocks too.

Sometimes if you are in good with the Lowe's/Home Depot staff, You might be able to get them to cut a slab for you on their tile saw
