My current jasper collection put together for comparison, from biggest to smallest piece. The big one in bottom left is brecciated jasper, gift from a friend.

Main difference between agates and jaspers is that agates are translucent and semi-translucent, while jaspers are opaque (light doesn't pass through them). I checked every single one of these stones, and they're all opaque. However, the specimen located on far left, third from top to bottom, confuses me because one side of it is opaque while the other one is translucent, with glassy surface.
