watchdog, do you know how to tell if a rock is a meteorite? I have one that I think is but don't know how to tell. I have a collection of all kinds of precious and semi-precious stones/gems and other rocks and I have one that I have no idea what it is. I am not certified or had any training in anything but as a hobby cut gemstones is why I have a lot of different rocks.

It is not coal, like I said a magnet will pick it up if it is strong enough. I also have been working with rocks and gems for about 15yrs and the only thing it I think it could be is some kind of iron ore or a meteorite, iron ore is not known to be found in the area but I am not sure. it is way to heavy to be any kind of coal I have ever seen, and I have seen a lot of coal and I have never seen any coal that is magnetic. I am going to cut a slice off and send it somewhere to get it identified so any recomondations on where to send it would be appreciated.
Thanks, Tom
