Got this new to me molcajete. Trying to figure out if it’s volcanic rock or not – could use other eyes. (More info in comments)

Mom found this at a client’s home clean-out and asked if I wanted it. It looks real enough, so I said yes. I just want confirmation that this is volcanic before I start seasoning it.
I’ve included photos of two starkly different lighting scenarios.
A couple notes on the molcajete itself:
* It is very uneven * It passes the knife test * The bowl is very shallow * The pitting and holes are not uniform or look machine made.
