Based on what information? In general, density is defined as mass per unit volume, so if you measure the mass and the volume, you can divide mass by volume.

What is the density of chert?

Since chert is made of SiO2, its density should be 2.65 which is the same for quartz (SiO2). However there some exceptions to the density value of 2.65 being attributed to SiO2. The density of 2.65 attributed to Quartz is when it exists in the most common trigonal crystalline form. Chalcedony a form of quartz known as cryptocrystalline quartz including chert, flint and agates including Jasper, has minute crystals of quartz with submicrospcopic pores. Flint has about 1% water included within it and a density that varies from 2.57 to 2.64. Other variations of quartz can be formed in an orthorhombic crystal form (Trydymite) with a density of 2.26 or a tetragonal crystal form (Christobalite) that has a corresponding density of 2.33.

How would you calculate the density if the object is cube?

The shape of an object is not enough to calculate its density. You also need its mass and then Density = Mass/Volume.
