I got some that looks exactly like that from markymark a couple years ago. Mine was from Morocco.

Yeah, it looks like what is commonly sold as 'Morocco Berber Agate'.

Yes, definitely Berber, the pink can be more like an opal and softer than the agate centers, might add tumbling challenges, though we have only cabbed it. I have a preform waiting on me to get past the shop roof project.

This is stuff my rock shop friend has, so maybe we will stick to cutting slabs and doing cabs on it. Thanks for the help!

From the exteriors i think they were originally gas bubbles in basalt - "amygdules."
