Are you sure it isn’t some sort of manmade resin casting?  Where did you find it? How heavy is it?

Could be Orbicular or Ocean Jasper.

I'm stumped. My gut screams "Fordite", but I don't know.

 

I wonder what this looks like under UV.

Yes,

Ocean Jasper is what I thought also, there is even a trace of green (agate?) in your specimen. Most pieces you see for sale have more green and less brown, but it fits well.

Best regards,
