My guess would be Mad River Agate from Madagascar. I have slabs that could produce that cab. Although it resembles Montana agate, the banding is more rare in Montanas. I have also seen some India Black Skin agate with similar appearance.

I have cut Indian Black skins, Some Mad River Agate and some from Oregon that could pass for each other and very highly resemble the stone you are showing.

Madagascar's Mad river is correct.
