Unfortunately New Hampshire does not have any fossils there as it does not have any exposures of sedimentary rock. As for what type of rock that is, I have to defer to those more knowledgeable than me.

From a geological perspective, this is schist metamorphosed from an ultramafic igneous rock, which explains the presence of amphibole inclusions within it.

I agréé with amphibole crystals.

It really does not look like any kind of crystal and those black stripes look identical to a sequoia fossil I own.

Are you sure about your answer?
