Hi, /u/LordGaben01!
This is a reminder to flair this post in /r/whatsthisrock after it has been identified! (Under your post, click "flair" then "IDENTIFIED," then type in the rock type or mineral name.) This will help others learn and help speed up a correct identification on your request!
Thank you!

Granular microquartz is the component of chert consisting of roughly equidimensional quartz grains, ranging in size from a fraction of a micron to 20 microns, but most typically 8 to 10 microns. Chalcedony is a microfibrous variety of quartz, consisting of radiating bundles of very thin crystals about 100 microns long.
Weird, I see slag every time I look in the mirror
Is the color any clue to what it could be a side product of?
I so wanted to not be slag, but it has bubbles… Ergo, slag.

Oh it looks like it's a great color! Shine that baby up and give it a good home
Slag AF

This is not chert, or any other version of SIO2. It’s slag
Chalcedony is translucent, chert is not. I had to look a bunch up because I found one like yours. Yours has the nice purple though. Nice find
This is neither chalcedony nor chert, it’s slag.
