Copper meteor?

[Luna]

My dad left this to me, not sure what it is. It's heavy and has molecule like separations the color of copper. Any guesses would be appreciated.

No, not a "meteorite." Take it to your local geology department at your Community College or University.

Thanks Terry, will try that.

Here's a picture of one I call a Sandwich Meteor.
It appears to consist of 2 separate elements that are melted together. I always get a little light headed whenever I touch it. You guys don't think it's Kryptonite, do you??

Maybe not kryptonite, but if it has that effect it could be uranium. Where did you find it?

it's pyrite, the creek i used to play in as a kid had vein's of it running through the kaleache limestone and here and there you would find those nodules with little
faceted pieces all through and through, we used to bring home ton's of it, it really looks like gold when you first dig it out of a seam, my mom still has a couple
in her jewlery box.

Thanks Bigscott, wish it was gold, maybe buy a UTV with it
