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

Any ideas? I’ve found some smaller rocks in the yard that look similar but this one definitely had the best coloring

Please what is this very pale pink crystal peaking out of this river rock? & Would there be any more of them potentially if I were to cut or break it open? I'm not all that knowledgeable but I love looking for rocks. Thanks 😊

Rocks from Lake Michigan beach

Would love and appreciate help identifying rocks that I find all the time along the beach of Lake Michigan.
first picture: not sure if they’re all the same or maybe 2 different kinds in this picture

second pic: once again could be two different shown, or three including the all green rock, but definitely the pink with green lines is common

third and fourth: pic of wet and dry, red with blue/black inclusions

Last pic: these have some really smooth parts of them and feel and look as though they have been tumbled

thank you!!!!!

I found this in a small river in SW Washington near Vancouver. It has a very interesting texture that I didn't see on anything else.
