This rock is made of a dense colletcion of fine material that is not visible with the naked eye or hand lens. The rock is a deep black color all over but upon close inspection it demonstrates shiny sections and layers amidst the blackness. The rock is relatively hard but doesn't scratch a glass scratch plate at all.
The rock is void of fossils. The rock doesn't taste salty.
If exposed to a flame this rock ignites and produces flame for a fair amount of time.
