Welcome to the Board, Rob!
That's an unusual looking one for sure but I'd have to guess Montana Agate as well. If you can get your hands on the book "Montana Agates" by Tom Harmon I think you might find something close to it.
The orbs or spheres are unusual as well as the general formation for Montana agate, but there is quite a variety of that material.
But I would definitely make it a "collection" piece and not cut it anymore.
Good question and thanks for the picture.
Keep 'em coming! Smiley
