I found this rock...Can anyone identify it?

1st - I noticed this was your very first post - so, Welcome Aboard! You didn't list your state (or country) in your profile. So, you might consider jumping over to Sub-Forum: Select Your Area.... and selecting location information (i.e., clubs, hunts, finds, legends, maps, etc.) directly related to your state (or country)...

2nd - I moved ya from TODAY'S FINDS! over to ROCKS/GEMS for more exposure.

Hello Dekal,

I notice a lot of thin narrow bands in the quartz / chalcedony white area of the rock. Based on the banding and the waxy luster of the rock, my best guess is you found a beautiful Lake Superior agate!

I've been collecting agates along Lake Superior for most of my 70+ years. I have jars full of them, some polished. I know agates quite well; but this one is unlike aything I've found so far. There is a hint of agate. The cavites have a druzy surface.
