Meteorite?

Hi everyone !

Wonder if someone could shed some light on this stone i found at the bottom of half dried stream. Its heavy for its size, not rusted, attracts magnets and has this candle wax like melt marks on it. Could it be ?

Looks like something from an industrial activity. Some type of metal working slag. IMO.

Hi Scottishunter, welcome! At first glance, your “rock” does appear somewhat meteor-ish, but the porosity indicates a slag type material as Crusader mentioned. Was that an eyeball find or did a detector pick it up? Thx for sharing, Ddf.

Welcome from North Carolina. I hope your find turns out to be real.

As said on your other thread, this is not a meteorite. The numerous vesicles showing in the interior rule it out. If not found in the vicinity of industry, or a dumping ground for industry that's further away, it will likely be volcanic.
