Could this possibly be a meteorite? It strongly attracts a magnet and leaves no streak whatsoever. To me it looks awfully similar to many of the Canyon Diablo pieces from the Barringer crater in Arizona. I found it probably about 80-100 miles from the crater.

I would have it looked at by a geologist. That would be one sweet find

looks like you're in Gilbert. Short hop over to ASU & their meteorite lab. Heard they cut way back on doing IDs (budget) but if you walk in with one in your paw someone will tell you.
