Chert or Flint (polished/water-worn) (Chert (a microcrystalline or cryptocrystalline variety of quartz, SiO2). Flint is a specific variety of chert.) — Sedimentary (most likely, as Chert is a sedimentary rock often found as nodules in limestone or as bedded deposits; however, it can also form by metasomatic replacement, which leans towards metamorphic processes under certain conditions)
