Is this some kind of chert?

Found some of this in a rock garden type thing in a parking lot in Victoria... most was really course grained and full of freeze cracks? They were all about fist sized. This stuff is a lot finer grained and has silver and gold specks in it. Pyrite? It percussion flakes very good. Pressure flakes not too good. It's really hard. Haha heat it maybe? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks- Brendan

penderbender:
Haha forgot the pics...

Zuma:
Yep. Heat helps some TX cherts. :)

There is a lot of creek & river gravel a round Victoria that takes heat & makes the most beautiful points

penderbender:
I should have mentioned Victoria b.c Canada. Cheers- Brendan
