It has a weak magnet absorption. The density is about 2.7.
If you want more photos, I'll take.
I think it's a chondrite or achondrite meteorites.
But i thank you to response...

Welcome to T-net.

I'm afraid there are no meteorites which look like that. Your rock doesn't have a 'fusion crust' and - if it did - the crust would also cover those inclusions. If you Google the term, you'll see many examples of what fusion crust actually looks like.

Your rock is terrestrial, not meteoritic, and appears to be 'spotted basalt' (more properly known as 'amygdaloidal basalt'). This kind of rock:

Hi again. So, if it's not fusion crust, what it could be? I saw the black dots inside that crust, it looks melt and burnt.

I attached two images for comparison between my rock (which are in left), and meteorites (which are in right). What's your guess? Thay are similar...

I have to agree with Red-Coat on this. The gravel bar less than 500 meters from my front door has many rocks that look like yours. The likelihood of any of them being meteorites is near impossible. You are free to believe what you like, however. If you truly believe your find to be a meteorite, submit it to a qualified meteorite lab for verification.

Time for more coffee.

Looks like a piece of spotted basalt, now that the XRF readings are up. If you still believe it to be a lunar meteorite, present it to a qualified meteorite laboratory, and have it certified.
