Found this in a water feature a home owner built in tx. He said it was petrified wood. I'm not sure. Help to identify pls?

This was in a fountain in texas that I demoed the home owner swears it's petrified. I talked with him about it but never got where he got it from out of him. I doubt with the amount that was in the fountain that he had it hauled in from anywhere else. But I have an abundance of it maybe 350 or 400 lbs give or take 50lbs. The ruler is 6 inches long

I think you already did a post with that find. It is n't advisable to multiply the posts for the same identification request (or anything else !) :)

Texas is a big place...still, this looks like metamorphic rock from somewhere within the Llano Uplift.

Looks like schist.
