It's a textbook example of how hydrothermal agate veins form in fractured host rock.  Very educational and attractive.  I'm also curious if you know where it's from.

From Roswell aliens? I'd be tempted to mount it on a chunky base. It would sell for a high price in one of those mineral & shell galleries that you find in big towns.

That would be nice but its only worth what you get for it.  :LOLOL:
