If anyone has any idea what this is please let me know. It appears to be molten, it's heavy like lead but is very hard. It doesn't scratch. Thanks in advance!

My first and best guess is Hematite. But that depends on what you tried to scratch with. The red tinges suggest Hematite. Remember ANYTHING can be scratched by diamond. It is important to scratch with several things. (fingernail - 2.5) (knife blade/window glass - 5.5 to 6) (piece of quartz - 7)
