Looks like brecciated jasper.

if the hardness is really close to 7, jasper. If it's noticeably lower (like around 5.5, similar to glass) it's argillite, which is what it looks like to me.

I would Believe It Is...Nephrite...One Of Two Types...Of...Jade!




Western Canada is the principal source of modern lapidary nephrite

I also believe the Golden Flecks within the Stone...Are Gold!

Coming from such a beautiful place in BC Canada...Called Goldstream.

"In 1863, rumours of gold in Goldstream drove a short, but intense, gold rush in the region. The remnants of the gold rush can be seen in the abandoned mine entrances located along the park's hiking trails".
