This rock has a resinous luster and is black with splotches of red. It's streak is red. Not sure of hardness, but it scratched easily with little pressure. It feel like glass in nature.

Welcome to Mindat, Michelle!


Please read the Mineral Identification post in the Identity Help section of Mindat. There, you will find questions that will need to be answered first before we can give you even a reasonable guess as to what you have.


One question I have: when you say "scratched easily with little pressure", what did you use to test the hardness with?
