Hello everyone.

Possibly limestone? Hard to tell without having them in hand...........

Thank you for response. I tried to smash it and it didn't break. I tried concentrated HCL but it didn't fizz. This made me wonder if it is not limestone. I want to use it in my aquarium but scared that it will alter water chemistry.

Yeah, if I remember right, it should fizz in reaction to HCL.....Sorry I can't help you!

Looks like a quartzite possibly metamorphic. Not an uncommon quarry stone. No real indications of iron or pyrites and it does not react to HCL so its stable enough to use as aquarium stone in my opinion.
