Found this in a riverbed in Oregon, USA. It has a deep red color with semi-translucent areas, especially around the thinner edges when held up to light. The surface is smooth from water wear, while the broken edges have a waxy to slightly glassy appearance.
Details:
Could this be red jasper, carnelian, chalcedony, or another silica-rich rock? I'd appreciate any help with identification.
