    I have been searching for something like this but no luck. Anyone here know what it's called?

    Virtually certain it is petrified wood & probably mainly quartz now.

    I have a Rock Identifier app on my phone. I'm not sure how accurate it is using it on the computer screen but it says it's Jasper and calls it Uncommon. If you continue to look at rocks you should download the App.

    The apps are not reliable.

    It probably won't help much.
