Well it looks like a chondrite or unclassified specimen. Those martian specimens at 11 grams would be quite a bit more in price than what you paid. Did any other information come with it?

If it is a Mars meteorite that size, it would have sold for THOUSANDS. You can probably cross Mars off as a possible source. TTC
