Found this rock in river, was astonished to see some bubble like texture on it. Need help in identifying it

That could have formed as clumps of tiny crystals, that got polished smooth in the river.

Still cool...but creepy.

I have collected many crystals but this one doesn’t have the exact characteristic of a anything near a crystal. Also I checked it under a microscope to find that the surface wasn’t like a polished rock rather it has a froth like texture.

Looks similar to pieces of slag I see here in the mining country, but wrong color.

Very pretty. I think you have a piece of 'botryoidal' quartz... probably as the variety 'chalcedony':

We have a winner here. Red beat me to it. I used to find this frequently decades ago when I lived in the Mojave Desert of California. Some were absolutely beautiful specimens of snow white quartz. Others were a dull, boring grey. Very rarely anything else.

Time for more coffee.
