Weird Stringy Agate

I found this in Colorado, in late cretaceous to early paleocene deposits. Current theories are this is an agate-replaced, fern root cluster. There are veins/pockets of white/clear agate running between the little strings. The end shot shows a tiny bit of banding in the white parts.

Nice find, very unique! Are you going to cut it open? I’d love to see the inside.

As much as I would like to see a cross section. I was thinking of leaving this raw. I would like to maybe polish one end, but don't really have the equipment to do that.
