What kind of black rock is this?

Hi Brains Trust - my son found this rock near Shepparton Vic - he wanted to know if it was anything cool so I thought I’d ask around - thank you

Could be Leverite.

Sure it's a cool rock. Anything worth taking home is a cool rock, we've got a yard full of them but I think the coin might be worth more to some people. My guess it's a piece of Magnetite that's very well water worn. Have you seen that ironstone jewellery?

On the other hand the texture looks like a blue rock we brought back from Wittenoom in WA. My mind is blank at the moment but I'll remember it soon

Riebeckite, also known a Crocidolite or blue asbestos however it has not developed into the fibrous for of asbestos.
