New find ( Is it real ? )

[Ollieboy]

Can anyone tell if this is a meteorite or not, it seems to be light for it's size. A magnet does not stick to it. It has blue/purple shiny gems or something inside it. What do you think.

looks like blue sapphire might be worth something where did you find it?

Hard to tell without opening it up, but looks like Labradorite (Plagioclase), a gem stone. You said you tried to use a magnate on it. Did you put the magnate on a string. Some meteorites are magnatic but only slightly and some repel. It does have an oily look, cant tell about the crust, and some look like you squished them lightly with your thumb... cook doe affect.

No, that is some kind of metamorphic rock.

See http://www.alaska.net/~meteor/metid1.htm for meteorite ID.
A real meteorite has a black crust, magnetic, very heavy for its size.

This item looks like it may be valuable for it's gem content.
