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.
