My current vote is that mine is a Montana Agate...  This guy is a rock collector:

ETA:  They are AKA Montana Moss Agates: http://www.articlesphere.com/Article/Power-Stones---Montana-Moss-Agates/172475

"Montana Moss Agate is normally a soft creamy yellow to almost clear with embedded intrusions or “moss structures” in variegated shades of tawny red to blackish brown. These bands or inclusions often appear to be trees or mountain ranges and are crafted into prized jewelry pieces, each as unique as snowflakes."

They use a lot of agate in "Celtic" jewelry.

They do indeed and there are some spectacular Scottish bracelets of agate and silver ... didn't this crop up in a recent thread?
