I Think I Found A Meteorite

[holleyda]

I found this rock (in my field) and its bright nature made me think. I wonder if it's an asteroid?
It's not a lava stone, because it's pretty heavy and there's no volcano nearby. So I tried a few tests I found online.
It gives cotton a black color ☑
And it's got little and little stuff in it ☑
It's also pulling the magnet ☑
But I'm confused because it's perforated. Some people on the Internet say; it's possible meteorite with holes, some say it doesn't.
Sorry for my English btw :'/

No, not a meteorite. Most likely Basalt.

Definitely not a meteorite because it is very porous. Meteorites are not porous at all. It is just slag.

Is that a chunk of black tourmaline on that rock? If so, your rock is a common pegmatite.

The secret here is to simply convince someone else that it's a meteorite at a yard sale. Then use the money to buy a real meteorite (don't do this, I'm only kidding)
