I'd guess pyrite considering the hardness.

Helloo...i found out actually it is marcasite

Does anyone know how much its worth? About 1.5kg one rock

 

[Eu_citzen]

Marcasite is a low-temperature variation of pyrite. They are related, so to speak.
Value isn't huge, I'd say.

Probably 5 to 20 bucks depending on the buyer. It has some good character.
