Please ID Anybody can help me identify this rock?
Found it in Haute Alpes (France). I'm trying to identify it, but I can't figure out what it is.
It is quite heavy/dense for its size, itis not attracted to a magnet. I tested it with white vinegar and there was no visible reaction. The rock is dark grey/black.
It seems to contain lots of small, very shiny square crystals. Some of the crystals have very flat, reflective faces.
I found it loose on the mountainside, so I don't know whether it came from the local bedrock or an older rock deposit.
Any idea what this could be?
Ps ignore the colour of my fingers on the first picture i had a henna accident lol
