There is a picture of waves crashing onto a shore to be cut out of that piece!  Sorry, I am a lapidary and such stones are one of my specialties. 

This one they want to put in the Lizzardo Museum.

That is a pretty nice piece you are holding for my purposes.

     Wow, that is cool.  I also looks like some cave art on the upper part, like a deer leaping.
Ahnlaashock, that is a nice cabochon.  This chunk would be cool also.  Skyarrow, you live near Tower?  Lucky dog!

Don't be surprised if those nice white colors on the outside all turn to various shades of brown when you knap that rock. It will still be pretty, but I think the color you see is a result of weathering. I think that rock has been cracked open a long, long time.
