That looks alot like a piece of Antimony (Sb) I own.

Funny Story, as a kid I used to break bits of it off and place the small (2-4mm) chunks on my moms old stovetop elements till it melted. I would place a small piece of basalt near the melted Antimony and the vapors would collect and recrystallize on the new matrix of basalt forming intricate crystals of Valentinite (Sb2O3).

Fun as hell till mom saw the elements and smelled the kitchen. The Valentinite specimens I would make were awesome as micromounts.

 

...just Sayin.
