I once found some material similar to your unknown. Chances are, you have a "fancy jasper" with some quartz or agate veins running through it. The dark green areas with red spots almost resemble "bloodstone", essentially a fancy jasper.
Confused rocks like this often form along "contact zones". The original jasper was subjected to intense heat and pressure, some locallized re-melting occured along with fracturing and hydrothermal solutions (quartz/agate) filled the fractures. That's a long and drawn out way of saying ... WOW, it's beautiful!
