need help I.D'ing rock.....

Hello Folks....

While golfing today I looked down and spotted this 'rock'. It has a greenish cast and looks like it may be fossilized (petrified?) The surface is striated and it's fairly heavy.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

HH,

root

No, I'd say that is agatized petrified wood. The structure doesn't look like tourmaline.
