Where is Laguna Beach? If you drop some vinegar on it, does it fizz? – Gimelist May 04 '18 at 22:50

Laguna Beach is in Orange County California. I did a little research on this rock, it's basalt. I'll try the vinegar. – Herb May 05 '18 at 12:56

If I would guess I would suggest that the rock is likely a granite, there are many varieties. The color and what I suspect are crystal grains in the picture suggest that the rock is a Felsic rock, where some of the mineral crystals of unevenly weathered out. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Felsic. – May 07 '18 at 18:32
