Meteorite??

[skrymer75]

hello, could it be a meteorite ?? stone is not magnetic, similar in weight to stones of this size, found in NY state.

I will just add that there were no other stones around

One more question, if it's a meteorite and I cut it in half to see what's inside, will it lose its value?

I see that I asked a difficult question ;-)

Since a magnet didnt stick to it then give it the scratch test.
Take the lid of your toilet and scratch the underside of the lid, if it leaves a mark its most likeley not a Metorite. If it does move on to the next test.

I did this test and it doesn't leave any marks, when I watch it through a magnifying glass it looks like it is burnt / melted .... How else can I check it ??

In a few pics it almost looks vitrified (glassy) on one side.

How heavy is it? Also If you wrap it tightly in cling film you can use a measuring jug filled with water to estimate its volume, then calculate the density.
