Metal ore, maybe nickel. A pawn shop or jeweler or even a lapidary at a rock shop can tell you more accurately. They mine a bunch of metal there.

I would say the outer rock is basalt.

It looks a little bit to structured to be obsidian. Is it magnetic?

I don't know much about stones, but it seems to me that this is still obsidian. Although I am not sure about this 100%. It would be very interesting to know if this is obsidian ...
