The place it was collected is unknown. I bought it from a rockhound friend who doesn't share his hunting locations.

Non magnetic metallic rock with pink crystals embedded throughout.

LOL. He also doesn't share what it is. I have some specimens you can buy that I will tell you nothing about.

Not helpful. Please be helpful with any replies. Thanks.

Welcome to the Forum from Texas

Your rock looks like Unakite imo. v

"This metamorphic rock is formed when granite is altered by hydrothermal activity. Unakite--also referred to as epidote/epidotized granite--blends green epidote, pink orthoclase feldspar and clear quartz and can contain trace amounts of other materials such as magnetite or zircon."

Geology.com - Unakite

Not Unakite, but maybe a slag material.

With the green on it I would think some copper is in it along with some Iron or galena and rose quartz it came from a highly mineralized area probably from a tailings pile at a gold mine it also looks like maybe some sulphur in it also. IMO I have found some beautiful turquoise at a gold mine in the tailings piles as it wasn't what they were after but your specimen would say they were on the trail of gold because the minerals run together.

Go to a pawn shop and have them XRF it...

Looks like a fault breccia. The shiny silver part shows what looks like slickensides or striations that indicate fault movement.

Sorry I cannot help you but looks like minerals associated with copper. If you find out please post the answer. Thank you.

I am no expert and can not tell from your pictures, but looks like black tourmaline. Maybe.

In my opinion it’s just a normal old weathered terrestrial rock with a little bit of iron in it. It’s not magnetic because the quantity of iron in it is very low. Many normal terrestrial rocks have tiny amounts of metal in it, usually iron, depending on the quantity of metal in it some are strongly magnetic or slightly magnetic and some are not.

“It’s leaverright”? I don’t understand what that means.
