'Fraid I don't know my rocks.

Any ideas? Is the one on the left a rock or just a blob of rust?

It is attracted to a magnet, there are some sort of crystals in it, about 7 grams.

meteoright or metorwrong? :)

The one on the right just reacts as metal to my pro pointer. Looks like coal to me, (not magnetic).

Thanks for peeking.

Need closer photos, especially of stone on left.

Even meteorites are rocks. Coal is a rock. Yes you have 2 rocks here.

Without more detailed photos taken much closer, still impossible to tell for sure.

You have a magnet to test magnetism with. Try testing the magnet on a piece of stainless steel: a fork, spoon or knife. Then compare that attraction to your rocks. If they are like most known meteorites, the magnet will be as attracted to the stone as the knife. It's not scientific. But it is often accurate.
 
Probably not extraterrestrial. Sorry. Unless a meteor "fractures" close to impact, they will have a crust and be "melted". Not technical terms but I'm only a meteorite "wannabe". As Tuberale said, more pics would help. Hmmm, wonder why your post "sat" so long before we saw it. Sorry, again. TTC
