Otherwise I would recommend the management to delete the post.
Superficially seen, it might, however very unlikely, even be a Norwegian rhomben porphyry from the Oslo area.
But without a sharp photo it is basically impossible to establish what kind of rock this is.
On the other hand, this photo is suspiciously similar:

In any case it's a porphyry with sharp, tabular crystals of light-colored feldspar individually and in clusters in a black basaltic (maybe dacitic) matrix. In the one specimen I have, most (maybe all) of the feldspar appears to be twinned on the Carlsbad law. I have seen a number of objects made from it over the years, but until now I had not looked into where it comes from.

Agreed, in this case it "seems" obvious. But that is not the way science should work.

I think you'll find it pretty widespread in many countries around the world.
