What kind of rock is this?

 

[Merklin The Wizard]

I keep finding this stone in various places, it looks to me like a broken countertop as it always has a side that sheers flat or was cut flat. It's black with some brown speckling. Also areas that are flat or broken have a mirror like shine. Normally I wouldn't even bug you with this but, it's popping up in places that I'd imagine people wouldn't dispose of a countertop.... Though it's totally possible it's just a broken countertop. Would someone who knows more about rocks than me, please tell me if I've found something natural or something man made and pointless.
Thanks in advance.

I was wondering if you coukd help possible ID these 2 rocks.

Here is one I grabbed from a mine dump outside of Kingman, AZ.

Here are a couple from a mine dump outside of Telluride, CO.

If just outside of Kingman towards Vegas then that is probably from the Mineral Park mine that used to be owned by Duval Corporation, the company, but not the minesite, that I worked for and retired from. Azurite, a copper mineral. https://www.google.com/search?q=azu.....69i57j0l5.8815j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8

The dark grey area is magnetic. Not sure what type of metal is in it. Not sure what kind of mineral the rest of it is either. Some kind of ore? Was found in southwest Ohio.

Hello, I'm new here - just found this interesting rock while digging in my Northern Illinois garden. I've never seen anything like it around here. The soil has a lot of small rocks, occasionally what looks like corral or another fossil but this one is puzzling to me so I am curious to hear what you think! The circular spots have a tiny dot in the middle and are in a uniform arrangement. There is a small protrusion between the layers, you can see it by my thumbnail in the 2nd picture. Any ideas?

Bump

I have no information on where this was found. Its very dense and heavy.

 

[tburke]

I have no information on the location these were found either.

Xenolith or Slag?




Heavy for its size.
Non magnetic
Doesn't leave streaks.

Hey I got one that I need help with

Hi All, sorry I dont have a picture, but I have some questions, apologise if there is a better discussion thread to post this.
I'm hoping you are able to provide some insight for me on deep exploration
drilling for base metals. I'm involved in some exploratory deep
diamond drilling into a prospect which is brand new, never been explored before. We drilled 4 holes, with the deepest hole being about 600m deep. The Geology that we were hoping to encounter is that of IOCG bearing Geology, but my understanding is very limited on what that
means. The Geology that we have interpreted to have intersected is hematite altered granite, so my first question is, what is that and is
that a characteristic you would expect for systems containing base metals like copper and gold. This geology was adjacent to highly
magnetic diorite units, so second question, what does that mean? To expand on that a little, the target we drilled into was based off a
massive +1000 nT magnetic anomoly which is normally associated with
base metal discoveries.

Does the geology I have described so far give
any indication on the likeliness of a base metal discovery? I have
more follow up questions if possible, but i would really appreciate
some insight on the above Thanks

Hi I'd like to have several rocks identified

I'd like several identified

 

[Rebecca62]
