Any clue what mineral this is?

We found this in a hard shell that we chipped away and inside was this beauty! We thought black obsidian but it’s nothing like glass. It’s really heavy and cold. Help me figure out this puzzle! Thanks

So the last pic was how you found it? how did you remove the surface material? looks maybe like the jade up that way they have been mining, or polished gabbro.
