I don't remember asking for one. Besides looking like a pretty good
colored metal foil the things looks like a representaion a multitude of
quakes or sound waves. Even raindrops all falling onto the surface from
all directions. I was going to make a guess as to what the pattern is to
create it, on second thought no. Interesting there, the yin yang and
possible starting point to the texture.
Since I haven't seen the definition to yin yang in quite a long time I
decided to look it up real quick here too. Since Mike M. didn't write
much I'll add it here from Funk & Wagnall's:
 yin = female. darkness, cold, death.
 yang = male. life, heat.

Its a factual pattern. I remember it as one of the fractal forms in
Fractint. Sorry I don't remember the name.

Actually I'm not sure if it's truly fractal; but it does look kinda fractal.
My playing around to come up with this (totally accidental) was definately
tangent and I can find no real use for it right now.  In any case, I will
mention at this point that the only texture applied is pigment{Green} to the
top half and pigment{Yellow} to the lower half.  No finish, or normal, or
anything else.

Ok after a little bit of playing around with fractint I found the fractal
pattern. I have attached an image of it. The name of the fractal was simply
circle. Sorry about the file size but there was just so much detail in the image
that compressing it any more would have made it unrecagnizage as being similar
to your image.

Use a greyscale colour map, and you could have a very interesting
HF.
