Meteorite or just a rock that likes magnets? Please help.

[Itfoundme13]

I have a rock that picked up one day (like a year ago) because I liked the way it looked (color/pattern). I decided to put a magnet to it today, and it hung on my magnet. I calculated the specific gravity to be around 3.3. It also does not leave a colored streak. I started doing research with the information i have collected, and this rock has several properties of a meteorite. but it looks much different than what I have seen. Any help would be fantastic.....thank you so much for reading/ viewing.
Cheers

I doubt its from Space, but maybe. It's most likely infused with a lot of Iron and that's why it's stickin'. Cool find though, those things are EVERYWHERE here in WA State.

I have seen green ones that are maybe copper ore, almost look like letters on them too? HH Boris

I can't ID the rock type, but I'm certain it is not a meteorite.

Hello which of the 2 minerals is magnetic, the white or the black? Is the white ,Feldspar, is it recrystallised? Are there nano or micro diamonds present (visible in light reflect) in the black mineral ? Has the specimen one or more fracturelines, through out? No rost, very stable.
Nice rock. W.T.F

I can't really tell which of the two are magnetic, the rock is really hard and i have not been successful in chipping it yet....any suggestions for how to figure out magnetic properties of the two materials independent of each other?
I just got one of those digital microscopes (nothing expensive), and I plan on taking a look at the rock under the scope tonight. I can see a reflection of some type of small crystalline structure when I move it around in light. How do I identify recrystallized feldspar? Thank you for you response. I am learning, I took geology in undergrad (one of my favorite classes)....and I am a chemist so I understand a good deal of geology, but I am really out of my comfort zone when it comes to identification. I love the advice I get from this site!

Hello a regular microscope works just fine. If you are able to chip of a dust grain, from the black mineral, powder the grain, check it under magnification (x 400-2000) is there a structure form, repeating it self over and over, same shape different mass.
You can show us the microscopic image, if possible. (only the black mineral) Good luck.
