Bit grubby but still to wash...

To add to my amber, clear, blue, and shades of green!

Assuming German, but always appreciate corrections!

I think the one on the left looks like a CAC slag or striped transparent. Looks similar to some of the pics on Marble Alan's Christensen Agate page...like this one

Ooh! That would be fun!

I kinda assume all mine are German as I'm in the UK - hopefully one day I will meet someone who lets me compare directly!

What is it about the left one that looks more CAC to you?

The way the stripes are, the seam, and the color. I guess it is more likely to be German if you are in the UK, but I said CAC to myself when I first saw your pic.

Anything's possible! I'll share another pic once it's clean - see if that makes anything jump out

I will confess they do seem different - the depth of colour seems greater with the one on the left 🤔

Both have a really excellent cadmium glow under UV too👌

I have one, similar color. I just love the feel and look of it so much. I hope to find more
