Either breccia or conglomerate, google both and see which you think it is, they are similar.

It is non magnetic and weighs 4 grams and its width and breath are around 2 cm and thickness is 1 cm A fun It is non magnetic and weighs 4 grams and its width and breath are around 2 cm and thickness is 1 cm This almost looks like a rock I have seen before. Im not sure what type of rock it is but it looks like it has quartz of some kind. Get a good powerful sonic tooth brush and clean it up. Also id try just for fun testing it if it goes off with a rads counter. This reminds me of a rock I have that I still don't know what it is. But mine is tiny and green with a bubble inside it with a spiral on the outside.

Thanks, it looks like Breccia ,it there any test I can do to confirm it.

Conglomerates are exclusively sedimentary and the clasts within the matrix are largely rounded or sub-rounded. Breccias can be sedimentary, tectonic, landslide/collapse/impact-related or volcanic/igneous in origin and the clasts within the matrix are mainly angular. So, I would say it's a conglomerate.

There is no confirmatory test that's specific to either rock type since they can be composed of a multitude of different clasts and a few different matrices holding them together.
