Interesting for sure, nice find. My first thought was a Gabbro but after a closer look at the images I think it is more likely a metamorphic rock possibly Serpantinite? or something similar. Where was this found?

Weathered coarse grained granite, IMO. Really crumbly if you rub it? The individual crystals of different minerals are losing their bond.
