That's a type of agate called sagenite.  Very nice find!  Tiny crystal clusters were trapped within the agate seam as it formed.  Sagenitic agate is any agate having acicular or needle-like mineral growths. These fine, thin filaments are often arranged in fans or sunbursts. Such inclusions come in many different colors.
