I got this from a fellow rockhound to make a couple spheres, he said it was Mexican Birdseye? Doesn’t look like the Mexican Birdseye l have? It’s solid material.

Doesn't look like any of that we've had, either. Sure is interesting, whatever it is.

Looks very much like the host that fills much of the seam agate from Big Diggings. I have a couple large pieces I can photograph tomorrow.  Photo uploaded.   If you were to cut this piece on the opposite plane you will get your patterns.  This one is perpendicular to ground plane, parallel to ground plane would make your patterns.

I agree this does not look like spherulitic growth at all.
