It looks like quartz to me. A good place to have that sort of stuff looked at is a rock and mineral show. Those are also good places to find some new crystals.

The patterning in the first photo is more in line where crystals have grown together in a larger mass.This is fairly common in large milky quartz clusters.

Thank you everyone!

I've searched on the internet and I think the stone could be the milky quartz.
Not easy to take a beautiful picture. grrr

I almost bought a selenite pendulum from my lovely crystal lady a while back but I chose clear quartz instead. Unless it was something else. Hmmm :?

I think it's a milk quartz. It's definitely not a moon stone.

Can you photo it on a black background?
I'll throw in my 2 cents. ..possibilities are white onyx or white marble and I was thinking white alabaster but that may be too soft to hold a setting either.
