Possibly Glenwood Agate from Utah, possibly Lajitas Agate Big bend TX, probably two or three other possibilities as well

Looks like a nicely marbled steak. I’m not very good at identifying rocks, so no help from me.

I'd say Laker due to the defined white and rich red. The cream coloring and hints of green would also be consistent with it. What's the other side look like?

I'll throw Brenda I to the mix. That kind of stuff is common there.
I don't think a definitive answer can be given.

Like Scott says, that kind of jasper agate mix comes from so many areas it's just a tough one to pinpoint. Rough exterior rather than a rolled cobble would seem to eliminate the Rio grande gravels. Scott made a good guess with Brenda but lots of similar stuff in situ in west Texas and Mexico both....Mel
