Tell me the texture, the grain size, the composition, the rock name and it's deposional environment. The rock I need identify is rock #17 and the image is below. Also there is an example on how it should look on rock #13. 

**Sample #**: 13 **Texture**: Rough, gritty, coarse-grained **Grain Size**: Gravel **Composition**: Feldspar, hematite, quartz **Rock Name**: Breccia **Depositional Environment**: Mountains This table presents information on a rock sample, detailing its features such as texture, grain size, composition, and the depositional environment where it formed. The sample is identified as Breccia, typically found in mountainous regions, with a composition that includes feldspar, hematite, and quartz. The texture is described as rough and gritty, indicating coarse grain size consistent with gravel.

The sample is identified as Breccia, typically found in mountainous regions, with a composition that includes feldspar, hematite, and quartz. The texture is described as rough and gritty, indicating coarse grain size consistent with gravel.
The image shows a piece of obsidian, a naturally occurring volcanic glass. The surface is smooth and shiny, characteristic of how obsidian is formed when felsic lava cools rapidly with minimal crystal growth. The outer edge displays a lighter, rougher texture, indicating the breakage pattern typical of this material. On the surface of the obsidian is a small, circular white label with the number "17" printed on it. This label is likely used for identification purposes, possibly corresponding to a catalog entry or for a classroom activity involving rock identification. The background is dark and textured, providing contrast to highlight the features of the obsidian. This type of rock is commonly used in educational settings to teach about igneous rocks, volcanic processes, and the physical properties of minerals.
