Meteorite or wrong?

[Kozmo*13]

I recently found a dark silver (very shiny) mineral. It is also very heavy and a knife cant even scrath it. It is also highly magnetic. I did a scratch test and there was no mark left behind. Can anyone help identify or point me in the right direction how to test this? I know finding a meteorite is very rare but I have never seen anything like this and it made me wonder what if. I attached some pics.

So what could it be?

Difficult to tell, but one big clue is the shape, most rocks have a shape that reveals their crystalline structure. Basalt, for instance has 60 degree angles.
your sample looks like it has 90 degree angles, which indicate a cubic structure, as well as possible others.
