it sound like a tigers eye. I have a few of them. You should get a poster that shows all the gemstones and crystals. Even the colour and what it looks like. This may be some help

I have a Tiger Eye but is it in yellow and black in color. And the one i have is red,orange,brown and white in color. It is a bit of the Tiger Eye pattern just different colour and ugier =X
Going by the four colours that you mentioned (red, orange, brown and white), and the layers/bands without seeing it I'm guessing at "jasper". Jasper is a variety of quartz. You didn't mention, I'm just assuming that the stone is opaque, is it?

Wow, that site charges about 4 times more than the same stones you can find at a gem/mineral/rock shop or new age store, and THOSE are twice what you'd pay at a gem & mineral show. Best prices are always at the yearly shows.
$20 for a stone 1/2" long? Geez! That type is $4 at most at the shows.

Hi :)
My first thought was a type of Agate. Here is a site with some pics that may look like your stone.

There are also pics of different Jasper on the same site.
All the best :)
