Is this Agatized Coral or something else?

Hello,

My grandma had this in her backyard and she asked me to pick it up when she noticed how shiny it was. She helped my clean it up and I took pictures on my phone. I was wondering if this is just an agatized geode? Or if it may be an agatized coral geode? I'm just unsure due to the texture on the top of the piece. post-14138-0-78498500-1459802279_thumb.jpgpost-14138-0-56336700-1459802286_thumb.jpgpost-14138-0-55206400-1459802337_thumb.jpgpost-14138-0-47548900-1459802343_thumb.jpgpost-14138-0-68301100-1459802359_thumb.jpg

I would call it a beautiful piece of agate, chalcedony and quartz crystals. I don't see any coral looking structures to indicate that it is a fossil. I also would not call it a geode since it is not a hollow semi spherical structure.

It is a beautiful rock.

My goal is to leave no stone or fossil unturned.
