I found this rock on the beach. Need help identifying it. Only thing I can say it's heavy about 40 pounds, black and smooth. Can not be broken with a hammer

You just don't have a big enough hammer!

Just a wild guess depending on where your beach is but darker forms of jade appear slick and black and are a booger to break even with a rock hammer because of their fibrous nature.

Greetings from Scotland, my guess would be Basalt an Igneous rock type that Agate's are commonly found within!
