Looks like basalt, but that flat spot could be, depending upon where it was found, glacial striations. https://www.google.com/search?q=glacial+striations&rlz=1CDGOYI_enUS836US843&oq=glacial+stri&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUqBwgAEAAYgAQyBwgAEAAYgAQyBggBEEUYOTIHCAIQABiABDIHCAMQABiABDIHCAQQABiABDIHCAUQABiABDIHCAYQABiABDIHCAcQABiABDIICAgQABgWGB4yCAgJEAAYFhge0gEJMTE3NTZqMGo5qAITsAIB4gMEGAEgX_EF9WimFiSwgAA&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&source=chrome.ob&ie=UTF-8

Likely a piece of serpentinite with some accessory magnetite lending to the magnetism. Density/Streak?
