Any ideas on how this rock was formed or what it would be called?

Looks like a desert rose, so could be either barite or gypsum crystals.

check hardness if mohs H=2 then selenite/gypsum. My guess it is barite so it should have higher density than an equal size agate.

Could it be the Prophecy Stone? If it weighs higher than normal.
