I seem to remember a banded Bigg's jasper that looked something like that, with the greens.
Does not strike me as wild horse but there are many different looks from the same dig.....

That sucks, I hate when you open the saw expecting beautiful slabs to find something like that. :Bash:

So, like many so called jaspers, it appears to be a soft rhyolite.  Does it scratch with a knife? Similarly, some thundereggs just cash it in as soon as you slice them.

Did you buy it?  I always try and test the hardness with a pocket knife and a quartz crystal I carry with me before I buy it. Had someone try to sell me serpentine as jade
