You can also try your streak test on the underside of a white porcelain toilet tank lid if you don't have a tile.

Awaruite is rather rare outside southern Oregon and your pieces seem considerably darker than most awaruite specimens that I've had over the years.
At the very least, you've found the right forum for your inquiry! Welcome!

I find them very much everywhere. But I lean for magnetite and goethite too.

idea of "ultramafic" sounds reasonable. If you would like to find which clasts are magnetic within the rock, since you have sliced several, you can magnetize a steel sewing needle, suspend it on a piece of thread and dangle it over the cut surfaces - just a bit more information...
