Sorry About the photo quality... The sun was blinding me, I couldn't see a thing... Anyway, this Boulder thing was on my property when I bought it...  it's alot heavier than an 80lb bag of concrete, so I'm guessing it weighs around 100-125 lbs...
Anyone know what it's called?

Well, I can only see the last picture but I'll guess Sandstone.
It looks like an alluvial layer of sand and sediments that got stuck together with probably silica(quartz) or calcite since the 'cement' is clear or colorless.
Here's that link again if you want to read about Sandstone in Florida.

But what are the red and black pieces? Jasper? Glass? Cool. Cool
Wear goggles or some sort of eye protection before you start beating on any rock with a chisel and hammer. Gloves are a good idea, too.
