This is one I found in Minnesota 45 years ago. I have seen Lakers with the small circle features (what do you call those?) but I think this may be the only one that I have found. It also has 2 or 3 spots of "fire" (similar to a fire agate) in the lower part (see last closeup photo). I like the small section of crystal on each side too. If I had gone any further, the crystal part would have covered a lot more area.    Thanks for taking a look, Chris |

That's a sweet cab you have there!
The term is "orb" (which is short for "orbicule"). Here's an Encyclopedia Britannica entry:
"In igneous rock: Small-scale structural features. The term orbicular is applied to rounded, onionlike masses with distinct concentric layering that are distributed in various ways through otherwise normal-appearing phaneritic rocks of silicic to mafic composition."

Thanks! I couldn't think of the term. |
