I'm sure I purchased this at a local Rock and Gem Show and I'm sure the receipt includes the type of stone but can I find it? Of course not. I've looked at several online sources but have not been able to come up with an ID. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Morrisonite or Imperial mexican jasper.

Looks more like imperial jasper to me though.
Very nice.

Yeah, I second the Imperial Jasper ID. That was my first thought.

It could also be mookite.  Hardeness would put it to rest.

Oh, this is where online ID get squirrely. My thought right off was Mookite too.
