Magnetic, looks to have round chondrules, could be a stoney meteorite. Grind a small opening and see if you spot shiny flecks, if so have it tested for nickle. If it is a meteorite you have the find of your life, money wise also!

Funny thing is, I have never put a magnet to a stone til today. Found 5 that were magnetic. Lots of non-mag too. They all look different. Don't know what to think. Are magnetic rocks common?

What looks like some chondrules, are holes, or indents. I don't believe meteors have holes. Has metal showing in spots tho.

Shemanese, what you got there is a Magnetic Madonna Figurine, can't you see that? ??? ::) ;D

If found in FL it would have to be a meteorite, no iron here, but in CO for example, many stones will have magnetic qualities, including being magnetic themselves (they attract iron, not just stick to it). Many parts of the country lots of iron containing rocks and minerals. But it's uncanny how much it looks like a recumbent woman suckling her child whilst eating a box of Little Debbies and chugging a two liter O' pop! I can clearly see a cigarette in her maw and what could be a tribal influence drop-fall axe/rotty wood stump tattoo on the side of her ankle.
