One "expert" said it was weakly magnetic and pronounced it hematite. I tried an earth magnet on it and the magnet fell off. I have tried numerous magnets on it.
And yes, a 6x5x4" chunk weighs 15 pounds. That was on the bathroom scale and who knows but it has to be nearly close. I set a ten pound bag of sugar on it and it registered 9 pounds. So I would say it is pretty close.
Thank you for the info, Little Wolf. One rock wouldn't pay to sell but-but-but Uh. I have nearly 2 tons of this stuff.
It is not a meterorite for as much as everyone is led to believe, very very few meterorites are metallic on the inside and the texture on the outside is wrong.
