Cave pearl pseudomorph?

Recommended Posts

Diameter 4.5cm at widest

Bought from street vendor in china who said its a “meatball” stone or 肉丸石(direct translation) 

i believe it is considered a cave pearl coated with aragonite? Other possibilities include lithothamnium fossil algae. Could anyone confirm ID?
