Please help identify this

Hey guys sorry to bother you all with this but I posted it in the rock section and no one has answered but knew if any of you know anything about this rock you would try to help. I got this out of the river dredging and found it really interesting because all the silver shining in the sunlight. As you can see from the pictures it is loaded with silver deposits of some kind, it's a pretty soft rock as I can chip layers away with my screwdriver and inside it's just full of this silver looking pieces. It also is attracted strongly to my rare earth magnet. Any help identifying this rock would be very much appreciated even if it is just a common rock.

I think it's iron pyrite, based on the formation, and color. It's not Silver, gold, aluminum, lead, platinum, tin, pewter, copper, nickel, or any other non-ferrous metal, because these all do not stick to magnets.
