Think I know what it might be now, Mario. If you think you know, then guess... if you're wrong, try again.

Better images might be useful! Whiteskin Brazilian Agate never heard of it ... and no, that's not it either!! It's just old brazilian agates from the 1930's or so.

Hi, Mario! Is it an Algerian Agate found in the windy and sandy areas of the Sahara Desert in South Algeria? These agates are smoothed by sand-carried winds. They were difficult to get any agates from Africa due to the that the European and African agates are usually taken by European collectors first. (Source: Dwarves' Earth Treasures) Mario, I found other information on the Algerian agate that is found in the Sahara in South Algeria. After reading this website, I wondered if it is also called "Tidikelt Agate???" www.mineralworld.de/deutschhome/Achate/Afrika/Algerien/Algerien_Tidikelt_engl/algerien_tidikelt_engl.html

Oops!!
Last Hint... It's not from North America... It's not from South America.... It's not from Europe or any of the Scandinavian countries, but their relatives can be found in any of those places. No Kangaroos either. The North & South Poles offer no haven to this rock either. Africa may have seen it back when Pangia was still intact, but not since the world cracked up.
