Mystery Rock 01-A

  • Media owner Ken S.

Perhaps a meteorite? It has small gold or iron pyrite flakes and a high enough iron content to stick a strong magnet to it.
Enigmatic rock for this area and the last of the rocks I have found on this property. The rest will be from other places.
Interesting. Might this be magnetite rock with pyrite?

It does not look like a meteorite to me, but perhaps you could grind down (sand) a small part of it and see whether it reveals native iron which would be a strong indicator of a meteoric origin...
 
I have so many mystery rocks.
Going to the regional Gem and Mineral Society show this weekend.
I go every year trying to identify rocks and if I find something at a price I can afford, will add to my collection.
 
According to what I have read and going by all the properties the closest I have seen to it is Black Tourmaline. Waiting for the closest Rock hound club to start their monthly meetings back up in July to confirm or find out what it is for sure.
