[QUOTE="Wally69, post: 45869, member: 1916"] I had not thought of slag, it is solid metal, very heavy and looks like it has been sitting in pilbara red dirt for a couple of thousand years, the metal is your typical shiny grey and is a fraction of a millimeter under the red shiny surface, no rust, very dense, no inclusions, maybe pure iron....????? Gina has a couple of billion bucks of iron ore in the ground a couple of hundred k's north of where I found this one, but thought iron ore had a high level of impurities. The shiny surface and lack of oxidation is what drew me to thinking meteorite.....the lack of magnetism....we'll I just do not know... [/QUOTE]
