Yeah thats the south western striped sheetrock usually come 4 1/2 x 8  but found also in smaller outcrops along the road!

Time, dedication, cuts, tons of broken rock, a wife, and perhaps a few girlfriends are some of what it takes in becoming a skilled flint knapper!!!

Well thwack, there's an old saying in the wide world of rock identification;
"If you aren't sure what it is, call it jasper."
My guesses would be rhyolite or jasper, but wyoming tiger stripe fits. ;)
Might want to take a little flake off it and see how that goes.
Pretty piece.
