Good afternoon. Maybe someone knows about mixed meteorites?

Welcome to Tnet.

I don't know what that is, but it's not a meteorite. There are numerous vesicles (bubbles or cavities) which is a strong indicator that it's terrestrial in origin, not meteoritic.

Are there volcanic rocks in the region where you found this?

To me that looks like some type of copper ore/rocks, I once picked up in Utah when I was younger. My piece looks very similar to his specimen. I'll have to see if I can locate it & I'll post a pic or two. I believe the highly green color areas in that specimen is the copper ore. Then the redish orange color is a type of iron ore, which is magnetic I believe. Thanks for sharing it.

There are no volcanic rocks. Fertile land. Location. Country Belarus. Whole in structure and inside, it consists of about 50% metal and 50% organic matter. Very hard alloy inside. I couldn't cut off a small part with a professional tool. Our geologists supposedly said a meteorite. But they don't have the experience to draw conclusions. How can you check more? Thank you

Understand. I will make cut in a weaker place and send photo. There is no high temperature processing at this location.

Hi. It turned out to make a complex drank from one side. Very hard rock around iron and unusual organics. Two Bosch disks are gone. Features high disc heat and a lot of sparks, strong smell like gunpowder or copper. But it worked. I send photos. The country's geologist insisted on an examination. Some water for cooling

looks like slag from a railbed to me;
