I don't know, the structure of the rock itself, the fracture, and the
luster remind me of an opaloid, but I've never seen one quite that
color... I think this is a mixture of rock materials that formed from a
silica-rich solution. This might be a case where we could go crazy
putting a name to it... but it is really neat and should be enjoyed for
its natural beauty, whatever it is.
Best,
Don
