Particular type of quartz
I found an earlier Kudoz in FR > RU, but apart from the fact I don't speak RU, in any case, no answer was forthcoming.
This appears in a technical document describing the geology of an area where a company is prospecting for gold, and this 'quartz blanc plus ou moins béchique' is among the various igneous and metamorphic rocks found.
I have found that 'jaspe béchique' also exists (i.e. elsewhere on the 'Net), but I have drawn a complete blank on an EN equivalent. All I have found seems to suggest that the idea might be of a stone that is somehow cloudy or veined, which could be consistent with the 'plus ou moins' in my text.

You're welcome. It took me some time to find it though.

Note from asker:
| Oh thanks, Liz, that's wonderful! I was wracking my brains trying to think what it might be, but adding the 'r' never occurred to me! This text is full of very bad FR and downright careless mistakes — it's also African FR :-( |

« L’orientation des filons est généralement parallèle à la direction de la schistosité de l’encaissant. Ils se présentent soit sous forme de filons rectilignes contenant du quartz peu déformé, soit sous une forme tourmentée et béchique indiquant leur antériorité par rapport à la schistosité régionale. Les faciès contenant des minéralisations aurifères sont généralement béchiques (polyphasés) avec des veinules de produits ferrugineux. »
