Identify this rock from Native Dog Creek/Oberon

Bonjour All,

I tested a few sieves in native dog creek for sapphires, and I found the center of the sieves full of those strange pebbles.
They are heavy enough as they gather in the center, but they are not the spinels I am used to in GG (not black like them).
It looks very metallic, and they seem to be quite soft compared to other stones.

Any idea?

Iron stone

I say Iron stone too

Thank you guys, it seems you are right!

When you see these , don't always discount them . Your not looking for iron stone but metorites . They can have the same sort of feel but a more exfoliated edges,very fine,still shinnyish ( like something that got scorched , heating at ungodly speeds nd temperatures from out of space into flammable oxygen environment as ours ) . You get a look from them like sapphires . I know I've tossed some . Now I know .
Oh.. And if there good ones . Worth more than gold . But you don't own them....

Plenty of that Ironstone up there, I think it's Hematite. Scrape it on the rough back side of a ceramic tile and if it gives a Reddish Brown streak it's most likely Hematite. A lot of it up at Inverell also. From memory Magnetite gives a Black streak.

Be great if they were Meteorites.

Yes, there is a brown streak when I scratch them.
Thanks for the comment.
