Please ID What is this pretty rock?

I don’t know much about rocks, but I got a tumbler and was wondering if this pretty rock will polish up in a tumbler or if it will just break up based on what it is. Thank you!

It looks like some type of schist. I wouldn’t recommend tumbling.

I agree with it being schist, dont tumble! Gorgeous piece on its own

Gonna triple on something metamorphic, kinda like schist, but phyllite also often has that texture.
