[QUOTE="blisters, post: 225287, member: 4992"] Which was? It also has to be tested properly with a hard surface. Does it attract a paperclip? The outside looks like a coating to me and doesn't look how a meteorite should. There are no dimply things whatever they're called and it has pitting, just like a normal rock. But if my eyes don't deceive me in the sawn section there are voids square and pyramidic in shape, just like magnetite crystals. Only an expert can advise you on inspection and testing of the specimen but I would lean towards saying you have magnetite based on the photos. Jon [/QUOTE]
