What the heck is this???

Gosh, this is pretty! I only have one small slab of it. Can anyone identify it?

It looks like some sort of fossilized plant, but I really have no idea.

Wow,
That's an interesting stone, great cab. I'm not sure what it is, kind of looks like a wonderstone, or ribbonstone, but not quite like either of those. Rhyolite? It is pretty for sure.

It does kind of look like wonder stone but not completely. Are those black thing dendrites? Maybe it was a plant at some time.
