Meteorite ?

Weakly magnetic, seems more to be repelled than attracted to magnets. Some have no effect. Tiny purple, clear, and multi colored flashes in the light

I understand it is near impossible to verify a meteorite over email but when 3 different places say " not a meteorite" but cant tell me what it is. I think its the first one found in the U.S.A..

The “3 different places” are right. Your response rock has no visible characteristics of meteorites.

Time for free coffee.

I have convinced myself it was a hematite concretion until I got it out of its box. It has metal flakes and veins that are chrome colored. Any where to get it tested in front of me around Oklahoma ?
