The second one closely resembles a dissected lung from a smoker patient. I'm not being funny. I remember walking through the preserved organs at the UNSW Medical building, and they look just like this.
I see what you mean Rory. The agate does have a flesh like colouring. I'm hoping to save that patient by sandblasting much of that dirty staining off at some stage which should make it a bit cleaner looking. Here's some of my collection I have found over the years after high pressure wash recently. The large stone in foreground is a large piece of conglomerate containing petrified wood, jasper and quartz. The large stone in background is a thunderegg chunk yet to be closely photograped.

I found some brightly coloured rocks when they were wet near Port Macquarie, however when they dried out they became dull. I painted one with low sheen varnish and came up a treat.... displaying a lot of the colours lost by drying out.
thats funny.
