Please Help Identify?

This rock is 6.2 lbs. I've got an idea what it is I just think I am better off getting another opinion. Thank You.

Break it open with a hammer; we need to see a fresh surface. Potentially, though, a skarn.

I wouldn't just break it, I would have someone with a lapidary saw cut some cross-sections to see what the interior looks like.

Possibly serpentine-quartz mix. See similar rounded rocks in the Illinois river in Southern Oregon.

Let's hear your ideas.

I think it's a Phantom Quartz.20180518_220514.jpg

From my collection.

It's deferentially agate.

It's translucent brown to the host rock part of it. Most of my agates tend to have iron in them and they turn brown when you put a light to them.

Just got told it could be jade and worth lots of money by a jade miner.
