Those bluish inclusions are interesting. I can't see any crystal structure but you might try removing a couple for further testing: hardness, R.I., spectrum, microscope. From your image it's hard to establish scale. How large are they? Are they translucent or transparent?

That looks like the kind of rock that I would work and dig at for two hours knowing full well I had no chance of carrying to the truck haha. You would think I would learn after a while.
