That looks exactly like Green Tree Agate from India.

I can assure you I dont have anything from India in my collection. These are from reliable dealer, Steven Speers, of Oregon. He is very well known.
I looked up the India stuff. It does resemble it. The outside of this looks like petwood, imo.

Yup, it may look like Green Tree, but I've also seen similar Hampton Butte. The copper-brown and verdigris exterior with bark or wood pattern is a good indicator for Hampton. Some of those log interiors were very strange.

Kevin(rocks2dust). You are a historian of the northwest region. Thanks for your insight.
I myself havent seen too much dentrite wood from the hampton butte location. A lot of the hampton butte is very porous looking. Even though these have fracture lines they are still very nice and took high polish.
