Hi Mojito,
Im an avid meteorite hunter, from the United States... , your rock does not look like a meteorite, but pictures are not the best resource. Put a window in it, or slice it open with a rock saw, and look for nickel iron flakes in it. There is a lot of info on putting a window in a meteorite..

First Geo thought it may be a form of Granitite but things from out of this World is not his forte.Gave it 50% chance from outer space.
Second Geo used words like Basalt Bundi , Flow Blended,Granitite Surpace, Crackel Breccia, Plagio Clase,Calcium Felspar.
It does seem to have heat shrinkage lines.Burn`t Crust.Heated incoming skid pad.Some magnetic attraction and a Nth / South Pole Polarity.
Tried to grind a window but the thing is harder than anything i`ve tried to resurface..
PS; please excuse the spelling of the Geo terms i have no idea of that terminology.
Whether they were blown out of a volcano.
Squeezed out of a fault crack or washed down an ancient river bed.
No idea.
