    There is a white agate material named Polka dot agate from Madras
    Oregon...A nice bright white color and very hard and
    durable...Howlite is way too soft.. 

    Try calling Richardsons Ranch, in Oregon... It is a rockshop and so
    much more...  Don't have the number off hand. 

    Ask for Polka dot agate, but without any of the dots or colors,
    etc.. or as much free from them as possible and then you can cut out
    the best white parts...Should be low in cost, because no dots and
    colors actually means it's LOW grade, in this material.. 

    Takes a mirror polish too by hand or in the tumbler
