Welcome to UHH Kelly, glad you joined us. Good first post. You might want to darken the background and bring out some of the detail in the dark areas of the stone.
Have fun, learn and enjoy the forum.

Welcome
You might try softer light in a "light box" to get rid of the shadows and allow the colors and textures to be shown to greater advantage. And as stated a darker background color will cut down on the contrast.

Thank you for the advice. I joined a mineralogy group that is very particular about how you take your pictures of agates and other minerals. They say "Make sure it is quality, use a white or tan background ( 
), take them outdoors direct sunlight".... I do have a decent lighting system....I think I will experiment at first with my home made light box and I also have two smaller lights that simulate sunrise or sunset light that work pretty good. I will give you an example of one of the first times I used those lights:
