I just did a google image search and Yellow Botswana Agate
Looks pretty similar to me...:Y:
If you hadn't labelled it I'd have thought it was similar to Prehenite

Hmmmmm thought I might be able to help as I'm not too bad on the more popular semi precious stuff, but nothing comes to mind immediately.

My first thought was a form of agate, but then I remembered I had some lemon jade that had white and greenish streaks through it. I've also had some yellow opal with similar markings but the colour was a warmer yellow. May be prehnite, but doesn't look green enough on my screen.

Have you tried taking the stone to a good jewellers?

I had a 5mm stone given to me years ago by an old friend and didn't have a clue what it was, took it to the shop and he told me what it was.

You never know, they might tell you for nothing?
