The yellow agates with red freckles and ribbons look like they have been crazily painted by dancing painters and they were first found at Paint Rock Valley, Alabama as floaters.  Apparently, they had been weathered from the limestone beds at Greasy Gove, Tennessee which is a few hundred feet from the Alabama-Tennessee border. A small percentage of the Paint Rock Agates will contain banded agates and and even fewer will have the banded agates centered in the nodules. The agates are yellow, orange, and red, sometimes with black to clear agates and the red color are usually not confined to the bands due to the porosity of the agates. 
    It seems quite difficult to obtain any quality banded agates from those areas due to the fact that so much of the land are privately owned, but there are been some collecting expeditions to the rivers and lumbered areas. Several old claims opened in 1950s-1960s had produced some excellent specimens.

Rough Appearances:
The best agates along Alabama/Tennessee border look like they have been extracted directly from limestone host itself and the nodules have reddish tint.
Most will show yellow dots/ribbons with red color without any agate banding.

Tennessee Paint Rock Agates are similar, but has rougher & more weathered exteriors.
Coming from close locations along the border, they can be confused with each other if not labelled properly.
