I'm not sure what kind of rock it is but it has a bunch of diamond like crystals inside of it .. The rock is real Heavy and hard to break.. The outer surface of the rock is smooth and shinny with a oily like feel and the inside of the rock is rough with many diamond like crystals ... O and when put under a UV light it glows for a moment after turning off light, like a fluorescent paint.View attachment 1101916View attachment 1101919View attachment 1101920View attachment 1101922View attachment 1101923

Granitoid? The florescence might be scheelite which can occur in granitoids.

It's a lot harder than granitoid and the pieces of rock break off completely different granitoid crumbles the other one remains hard in A solid piece. I have granitoid this is a picture of one of them right?

Granitoid is a unspecific name for granite-similar rocks. Hardness is usually around 7 on Mohs scale.
