Buckskin Billy found these at his hunting camp the other day. They throw a real hot spark.

I would think that they were some type of chert. Chert was used by the Indians for their flint and arrowheads, scrapers. etc.
I once found an arrowhead near where I used to live that was some type of chert or flint that was sort of a whitish clear color and there wasn't any kind of rock formation anywhere in my state that I knew of with that type. I figured it must have been traded by an Indian, maybe a frontiersman passing through from another area a good ways off on one of their excursions or long hunts.
