Hi I bought these a while ago at a gem show in Denver and I’m not sure what they are because I lost the tag. Any help appreciated thanks.

We used to sell these as "variegated jasper".

They are orbicular jasper because they have rounded orbs. Usually rhyolite or tuff which contain quartz and feldspar growing in orbs.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
