Found a pair of these within a foot of each other east of Grand Maris, MI. I haven't seen any more on the beach.

Streak is white. If this is greenstone, it's a big one, as most are the size of a dime.

Looks like a pudding stone to me. They're a conglomerate and can be of different minerals.
There's even a pudding stone festival somewhere in Michigan.

Here's a polished greenstone.

Highly doubt puddingstone, as it's the wrong color for it in the area found. Some of the black areas act like feldspar in the light.

The black areas are pyroxene, and can act like feldspar. Gabbro, for sure.
