Respectfully, it looks to me like a common teardrop ROCK...aka, a Leaverite.

Any proof that it's a meteorite? Have you had it verified?

No disrespect intended perry as it is well known that you have a penchant for things from outer space, but seriously something that size would have been totally incinerated the instant that it entered into the Earth's atmosphere! If it were even a fragment from a much larger piece that survived, it would never look like that. I will give you credit though for having quite the vivid imagination.

Perry, this is a real "oriented" meteorite. It was found by my buddy Frank Campagnano, at Gold Basin, AZ.
