Looks like an oolite to me, like this one:

They're from shallow marine/saline environments, formed either by
rolling small particles on a beach via wave action. I've got some from
the seaside reaches of the Nullarbor plain that look like that.

Where'd you get it?

Cheers,

Hello,

I agree with Marc, it looks a lot like the oolites I find in Michigan.
