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

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.

Cool Agate?


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
